Answer 13

Inverse: the inverse of a statement is the statement in the same order with both parts negated
Example: Statement-If you win a case, this school is great
Inverse-If you do NOT win a case, this school is NOT great

Converse: the converse of a statement is the statement in the opposite order
Example: Statement-If you win a case, this school is great
Converse- If this school is great, then you win a case

Contrapositive: the contrapositive of a statement is the statement in the opposite order with both parts negated
Example-If you win a case, this school is great
Contrapositive-If this school is NOT great, then you will NOT win a case.
