Read the statements shown below. All zoots are bubbles. Zoots are red or blue. If a zoot is blue, it is a zat. If bubbles have glitter, it is a zit. Based on the given statements, which is a valid conclusion? A blue zit is a zat with glitter. A zat without glitter is not a zoot. A zat is a blue zoot without glitter. If a bubble is red or blue, it is not a zit.

hello:)

OpenStudy (happykiddo):

is it the first one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First one cannot be, not all bubbles (to be zit) are zoots. If a zat is without glitter, it's still a zoot. Third one is correct. The last is also fake, because it can be a zoot and a zit at the same time, if it has glitter. And, hi :-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah, nevermind, the first one, I think it's correct also.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And third one, false.

OpenStudy (happykiddo):

so it would be first (just to clarify)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, no. Being blue does not imply that it's a zoot. There may be blue bubbles that are not zoots. I think it has to be the third again. Sorry for the confusion.

OpenStudy (happykiddo):

but it says.......if a zoot is blue it is a zat, bmp

|dw:1335816602570:dw| Based on this Diagram: Statement 1 is Valid Statement 2 is Invalid Statement 3 is Invalid Statement 4 is Invalid 1.) Since All Zoots are bubbles, and bubbles that have glitters are zits, and Zoots (bubbles) can be blue, it's valid that Blue Zits are also Zats with Glitter. 2.) Invalid, because a Zat can be a Zoot even without Glitters. 3.) Invalid, because it's relative for a Zat to have or not have Glitter 4.) Invalid, because a Zoot can relatively have glitter or not.
