Question

The following conditional statement is given: "If it is Friday, then there is no school tomorrow."

Part A: Explain how to change a statement into the converse and write the converse of the given conditional statement. (5 points)

Part B: Is the converse of the conditional statement valid? Give a counterexample to the converse to dispute the statement. Justify your point of view. (5 points)

Answer 1

Part A) to get the converse of a conditional statement, reverse the hypothesis and conclusion. “If q then p” becomes “If p then q.” Apply this logic to the statement in the problem.

Part B) look at the converse statement you made. Is it always true? Are there any examples where it might be false?
