1. Write each statement in words. Let p: The plane is on time. Let q: The sky is clear.
a) p ∧ (¬q)
- The plane is on time and the sky is not clear.
b) q → (p ∨¬p)
- The sky is clear, then the plane is on time or the plane is not on time.
c) p ↔ q
- The plane is on time if and only if the sky is clear.
d) p → q
- The plane is on time, ten the sky is clear.
a) p → ¬ q
p q ¬q p→¬q

3. Using the truth table prove that the following propositions are logically
equivalent: p ∨ (q ∧r)⇐ ⇒ (p ∨q) ∧ (p ∨r)
