This statement is true p --> q
p: 2+ 2=5
q: 2 • 2 = 4
this is conditional statement
p is hypothesis
q is conculsion
the question says is it true or false? why does it say that it's true. it seems false but the answer is that it's true. could anyone explain why it is true?

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

p->q is a conditional statement with the following truth table:

p         q               p->q

T          T                 T

T          F                 F

F          T                 T

F          F                 T

The hypothesis is the p value here.

The conclusion is the q value here.

The conditional statement is only considered false where the hypothesis is true but the conclusion isn't.

So if the conclusion is true, then the statement is true no matter how ridiculous the hypothesis is.

The conditional is also true when both parts are false.

Anyways let's look at your conclusion: q: 2*2=4. Well 2*2=4 is true so I don't really care what the hypothesis says the result is the conditional is true.

Furthermore, the 3rd row of my truth table corresponds to your situation since the hypothesis is false and the conclusion is true. This means your conditional has a true truth value.

false

step-by-step explanation:

i looked it up

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.
