course Mth 151 This has nothing to do with the current assignment, but, in Assignment 11, I believed I accidentally copied and pasted both assignment 8 AND 11, so 11 will come afterwards. I apologize for the mistake. ´˜¬ìáø¶Ðùݦòò·þïÀÕßø„Ùassignment #012

06:50:10 `q001. Note that there are 4 questions in this assignment. Suppose I tell you 'If it rains today, I'll give you $100.' Under which of the following circumstances can you claim that I was not telling the truth? 1. It rains and I give you $100. 2. It rains and I don't give you $100. 3. It doesn't rain and I give you $100. 4. I doesn't rain and I don't give you $100.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> 2 and 3 are negations. Cause it didn't rain and I didn't get my money. But if it does rain, and I DO get my money, that is also a negation. confidence assessment: 3

06:50:22 I said what would happen under a certain condition. In situation #2, that condition is fulfilled and what I said would happen doesn't happen. Therefore in situation #2 it is clear that I wasn't telling the truth. In situation #3, the condition that I addressed isn't fulfilled so no matter what happens I can't be accused of not telling the truth. I said what would happen if rains. No matter what happens, if it doesn't rain what I said cannot be held against me. It should be clear to anybody that situation #1 is exactly what you would expect, and that situation #4 is just would you would probably expect from my statement in the event that it doesn't rain, so nobody would say that this situation violates my claim to truthfulness.

06:53:01 `q002. Suppose that tell you 'It will rain today and I will give you $100'. Under which of the following circumstances can you claim that I was not telling the truth? 1. It rains and I give you $100. 2. It rains and I don't give you $100. 3. It doesn't rain and I give you $100. 4. I doesn't rain and I don't give you $100.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> If it doesn't rain and I don't get the 100 bucks, that is a negation. But there is nothing specific that says you will give me money IF it rains, unlike the previous question. So 2 and 3 are also negations. So 2, 3, and 4 are negations, They both have to be true to make it a full true statement. confidence assessment: 3

06:53:12 It should be clear that situation #1 completely fulfills the conditions of my statement. Both of the things that I say will happen do happen. In situation #2, it rains but you don't get the $100. I said two things were going to happen and one of them didn't. In that case you would have to say that I wasn't telling truth. In situation #3, again one of the things I say is going to happen does but the other doesn't, so again you would have to say that I wasn't telling truth. In situation #4, neither of the things I say will happen does and certainly it would have to be said that I wasn't telling truth.

06:54:45 `q003. Suppose that tell you 'It will rain today or I will give you $100, but not both'. Under which of the following circumstances can you claim that I was not telling the truth? 1. It rains and I give you $100. 2. It rains and I don't give you $100. 3. It doesn't rain and I give you $100. 4. I doesn't rain and I don't give you $100.

RESPONSE --> 1 is a negation, because both occured. 2 is true because it did rain, but no money. 3 is true also because it didn't rain, but got cash 4 is a negation because it didn't rain, and I didn't get paid. confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
06:55:01 In situations 2 and 3, one of the things happens and the other doesn't, so you would not be able to say that I wasn't telling the truth. However in situation 1, both things happen, which I said wouldn't be the case; and in situation 4 neither thing happens. In both of these situations you would have to say that I was not telling truth.

06:56:29 `q004. Suppose that tell you 'It will rain today or I will give you $100'. Under which of the following circumstances can you claim that I was not telling the truth? 1. It rains and I give you $100. 2. It rains and I don't give you $100. 3. It doesn't rain and I give you $100. 4. I doesn't rain and I don't give you $100.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> 1 is a negation because it rained and you gave me the money anyway. 2 is true because it rained, therefore not winning the bet 3 is true because I won the bet 4 is a negation because I won the bet but didn't receive the money confidence assessment: 3

06:57:10 At first this might seem to be the same as the preceding problem. But in the preceding problem we specifically said '... but not both.' In this case that qualification was not made. Therefore we have regard the statement as true as long as at least one of the conditions is fulfilled. This is certainly the case for situation 1: both conditions are true we can certainly say that at least one is true. So in situation #1 we have to regard the present statement as true. So situation #1 would not be included among those in which I could be accused of not telling the truth.
