1. **State the problem:**
We are given two statements:
- $p$: A month begins with the letter M.
- $q$: It has 31 days.
We need to find the conditional, inverse, converse, and contrapositive statements of $p \to q$ and their truth values.
2. **Conditional statement:**
The conditional is $p \to q$: "If a month begins with M, then it has 31 days."
3. **Truth value of conditional:**
Months beginning with M are March and May.
- March has 31 days (true).
- May has 31 days (true).
So, the conditional is **true**.
4. **Inverse statement:**
The inverse is $\neg p \to \neg q$: "If a month does not begin with M, then it does not have 31 days."
5. **Truth value of inverse:**
Months not beginning with M but having 31 days include January, July, August, October, December.
So, the inverse is **false**.
6. **Converse statement:**
The converse is $q \to p$: "If a month has 31 days, then it begins with M."
7. **Truth value of converse:**
Months with 31 days include January, March, May, July, August, October, December.
Only March and May begin with M.
So, the converse is **false**.
8. **Contrapositive statement:**
The contrapositive is $\neg q \to \neg p$: "If a month does not have 31 days, then it does not begin with M."
9. **Truth value of contrapositive:**
Months without 31 days are February, April, June, September, November.
None of these begin with M.
So, the contrapositive is **true**.
10. **Symbolic notation for inverse:**
The inverse of $p \to q$ is $\neg p \to \neg q$, which corresponds to option D.
11. **True bi-conditional statement:**
Angles are supplementary if and only if their sum is 180° is true (option B).
12. **Law used or invalid conclusion:**
- Given: If you live in Orlando, then you live in Florida.
- Morgan does not live in Orlando.
- Conclusion: Morgan does not live in Florida.
This is an invalid conclusion (denying the hypothesis).
13. **Law used or invalid conclusion:**
- Given: If two angles in a triangle are 40° and 30°, then the third angle measures 110°.
- Given: If a triangle has an angle that measures 110°, then it is an obtuse triangle.
- Conclusion: If two angles in a triangle are 40° and 30°, then it is an obtuse triangle.
This uses the Law of Syllogism.
Final answers:
7. Conditional: If a month begins with M, then it has 31 days. Truth Value: True
8. Inverse: If a month does not begin with M, then it does not have 31 days. Truth Value: False
9. Converse: If a month has 31 days, then it begins with M. Truth Value: False
10. Contrapositive: If a month does not have 31 days, then it does not begin with M. Truth Value: True
11. D
12. B
13. Invalid
14. Law of Syllogism
