NAME DATE _ _ _ PERIOD Study Guide and Intervention Logical Reasoning Conditional Statements A conditional statement is a statement of the form If A, then B. Statements in this form are called if-then statements. The part of the statement immediately following the word if is called the hypothesis. The part of the statement immediately following the word then is called the conclusion. Identify the hypothesis and conclusion of each statement. Identify the hypothesis and conclusion of each statement. Then write the statement in if-then form. a. If it is Wednesday, then Jerri has aerobics class. Hypothesis: it is Wednesday Conclusion: Jerri has aerobics class a. You and Marylynn can watch a movie on Thursday. Hypothesis: it is Thursday Conclusion: you and Marylynn can watch a movie If it is Thursday, then you and Marylynn can watch a movie. b. If 2x - 4 < 10, then x < 7. Hypothesis: 2x - 4 < 10 Conclusion: x < 7 b. For a number a such that 3a + 2 = 11, a Hypothesis: 3a + 2 = 11 Conclusion: a = 3 If 3a + 2 = 11, then a = 3. ( = 3.

To show that a conditional statement is false, use a counterexample, one example for which the conditional statement is false. You need to find only one counterexample for the statement to be false. Determine a valid conclusion from the statement If two numbers are even, then their sum is even for the given conditions. If a valid conclusion does not follow, write no valid conclusion and explain why. a. The two numbers are 4 and 8. 4 and 8 are even, and 4 + 8 = 12. Conclusion: The sum of 4 and 8 is even. b. The sum of two numbers is 20. Consider 13 and 7. 13 + 7 = 20 However, 12 + 8, 19 + 1, and 18 + 2 all equal 20. There is no way to determine the two numbers. Therefore there is no valid conclusion. Provide a counterexample to this conditional statement. If you use a calculator for a math problem, then you will get the answer correct. Counterexample: If the problem is 475 -7- 5 and you press 475 - 5, you will not get the correct answer. l ) \.-" NAME _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ DATE _ _ _ _ _ PERIOD Skills Practice Logical Reasoning Identify the hypothesis and conclusion of each statement. 1. If it is Sunday, then mail is not delivered. 2. If you are hiking in the mountains, then you are outdoors. 3. If 6n + 4> 58, then n > 9. Identify the hypothesis and conclusion of each statement. Then write the statement in if-then form. 4. Martina works at the bakery every Saturday. 5. Ivan only runs early in the morning. 6. A polygon that has five sides is a pentagon. Determine whether a valid conclusion follows from the statement If Hector scores an 85 or above on his science exam, then he will earn an A in the class for the given condition. If a valid conclusion does not follow, write no valid conclusion and explain why. 7. Hector scored an 86 on his science exam. 8. Hector did not earn an A in science. 9. Hector scored 84 on the science exam. 10. Hector studied 10 hours for the science exam. Find a counterexample for each statement. 11. If the car will not start, then it is out of gas. 12. If the basketball team has scored 100 points, then they must be winning the game. 13. If the Commutative Property holds for addition, then it holds for subtraction. 14.
