Ok so true or false ?

Still confused
OpenStudy (anonymous):
If a statement is " if p then q" then :
converse is " if q then p"
inverse is " if not p then not q"
contra positive is " if not q then not p "
So answer to ur question is true

I just had a minor brain fart whilst answering. You are correct.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
we are not looking at the literal meaning the statement that has been given, but assuming that given statement is true we should write an inverse of that statement.
inverse should be in contrary right?
thats why for a statement " if p then q" inverse becomes " if not p then not q"
OpenStudy (austinl):
I realized my silly error. It is that it is the inverse. Which is correct. But consequently not true.
OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
So, logically if the statement:
If p, then q is true.
The statement:
If not q, then not p. Must be true?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
