Chapter 2: Q2 (page 34)

State the hypothesis and the conclusion of each conditional.

If she’s smart, then I’m a genius.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The hypothesis is she’s smart and the conclusion is I’m a genius.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Hypothesis and the conclusion.

The hypothesis and the conclusion of a conditional statement are where the hypothesis is the phrase immediately following by the word if and the conclusion is the phrase immediately following by the word then.

02

Step 2. Symbolic representation.

If p represents the hypothesis and q represents the conclusion, then the basic form of an if-then statement is “If p, then q”. For example, in the statement “If today is Friday, then tomorrow is Saturday”, “today is Friday” is the Hypothesis, and “tomorrow is Saturday” is the Conclusion.

03

Step 3. Identification of the Hypothesis and the conclusion.

In the statement “If she’s smart, then I’m a genius”, therefore, “she’s smart” is followed by “If” and “I’m a genius” is followed by “then” thus, the hypothesis is she’s smart and the conclusion is I’m a genius.

Hence, the hypothesis is she’s smart and the conclusion is I’m a genius.
