Given that a and b are true and x and y are false, determine the truth value of the following proposition: ~[(a ⊃ y) v ~(x ⊃ b)] ⋅ [~(a ≡ ~x) v (b ⊃ x)]

The value of the proposition is FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

~[(A ⊃ Y) v ~(X ⊃ B)] ⋅ [~(A ≡ ~X) v (B ⊃ X)]

Let's start with the smallest part: ~X. The symbol ~ is negation when X is true with the negation is false and vice-versa. In this case, ~X is true (T)

~[(A ⊃ Y) v ~(X ⊃ B)] ⋅ [~(A ≡ T) v (B ⊃ X)]

Now the parts inside parenthesis:  (A ⊃ Y),(X ⊃ B),(A ≡ T) and (B ⊃ X). The symbol ⊃ is the conditional and A ⊃ Y is false when Y is false and A is true, in any other case is true. The symbol ≡ is the biconditional and A ≡ Y is true when both A and Y are true or when both are false.

(A ⊃ Y) is False (F)

(X ⊃ B) is True (T)

(A ≡ T) is True (T)

(B ⊃ X) is False (F)

~[(F) v ~(T)] ⋅ [~(T) v (F)]

The two negations inside the brackets must be taken into account:

~[(F) v F] ⋅ [F v (F)]

The symbol left inside the brackets v is the disjunction, and A v Y is false only  with both are false. F v (F) is False.

~[F] ⋅ [F]

Again considerating the negation:

T⋅ [F]

Finally, the symbol ⋅ is the conjunction, and A v Y is true only with both are true.

T⋅ [F] is False.

describing distributions is one of the key skills you’ll need to earn a high score on the ap statistics exam. if you need proof of this, just flip through some past exam questions, which can be found at the collegeboard website. you’ll notice that the first free response question is almost always a question requiring you to look at a graph and describe it.
