10:13:20 `q001. There are 8 questions in this set. If each of the propositions p and q can be either true or false, what combinations of truth values are possible for the two propositions (e.g., one possibility is that p is false and q is true; list the other possibilities)?

10:13:28 It is possible that p is true and q is true. Another possibility is that p is true and q is false. A third possibility is that p is false and q is true. A fourth possibility is that p is false and q is false. These possibilities can be listed as TT, TF, FT and FF, where it is understood that the first truth value is for p and the second for q.

10:13:46 `q002. For each of the for possibilities TT, TF, FT and FF, what is the truth value of the compound statement p ^ q ?

......!!!!!!!!...................................
10:13:55 p ^ q means 'p and q', which is only true if both p and q are true. In the case TT, p is true and q is true so p ^ q is true. In the case TF, p is true and q is false so p ^ q is false. In the case FT, p is false and q is true so p ^ q is false. In the case FF, p is false and q is false so p ^ q is false.

10:15:14 The truth table must have headings for p, q and p ^ q. It must include a line for each of the possible combinations of truth values for p and q. The table is as follows: p q p ^ q T T T T F F F T F F F F.

10:15:47 `q004. For each of the possible combinations TT, TF, FT, FF, what is the truth value of the proposition p ^ ~q?
......!!!!!!!!...................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................
10:16:00 For TT we have p true, q true so ~q is false and p ^ ~q is false. For TF we have p true, q false so ~q is true and p ^ ~q is true. For FT we have p false, q true so ~q is false and p ^ ~q is false. For FF we have p false, q false so ~q is true and p ^ ~q is false.

10:16:56 The truth table will have to have headings for p, q, ~q and p ^ ~q. We therefore have the following: p q ~q p^~q T T F F T F T T F T F F F F T F

10:18:11 `q006. Give the truth table for the proposition p U q, where U stands for disjunction.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> P Q P U Q T T T T F T F T T F F F confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
10:18:16 p U q means 'p or q' and is true whenever at least one of the statements p, q is true. Therefore p U q is true in the cases TT, TF, FT, all of which have at least one 'true', and false in the case FF. The truth table therefore reads p q p U q T T T T F T F T T F F F

10:20:04 `q007. Reason out the truth values of the proposition ~(pU~q).
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> P Q ~Q ~(P U ~Q) T T F F T F T F F T F T F F T F confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
10:20:12 In the case TT p is true and q is true, so ~q is false. Thus p U ~q is true, since p is true. So ~(p U ~q) is false. In the case TF p is true and q is false, so ~q is true. Thus p U ~q is true, since p is true (as is q). So ~(p U ~q) is false. In the case FT p is false and q is true, so ~q is false. Thus p U ~q is false, since neither p nor ~q is true. So ~(p U ~q) is true. In the case FF p is false and q is false, so ~q is true. Thus p U ~q is true, since ~q is true. So ~(p U ~q) is false.

10:20:30 `q008. Construct a truth table for the proposition of the preceding question.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> I just did that! confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
10:20:38 We need headings for p, q, ~q, p U ~q and ~(p U ~q). Our truth table therefore read as follows: p q ~q pU~q ~(pU~q) T T F T F T F T T F F T F F T F F T T F
