Question 1
Consider the statements:
p: Sarah is present
q: Sarah is attentive
If p is True and q is False, what is the truth value of p ∧ q (p AND q)?
Step 1: Understand the conjunction (AND) operator
The conjunction p ∧ q is True ONLY when BOTH p and q are True.
Step 2: Apply the given values
p = True, q = False
Step 3: Evaluate p ∧ q
Since at least one of p or q is False, p ∧ q = False
The conjunction p ∧ q is True ONLY when BOTH p and q are True.
Step 2: Apply the given values
p = True, q = False
Step 3: Evaluate p ∧ q
Since at least one of p or q is False, p ∧ q = False
