This tests necessary vs. sufficient conditions.
- If A is SUFFICIENT for B: A → B (A guarantees B, but B can happen without A)
- If A is NECESSARY for B: B → A (B cannot happen without A)
Fido is a mammal
- If A is SUFFICIENT for B: A → B (A guarantees B, but B can happen without A)
- If A is NECESSARY for B: B → A (B cannot happen without A)
