Question

Which shows a true conditional with a correctly identified hypothesis and conclusion?

If it is raining, then the humidity level is 100%.

Hypothesis: The humidity level is 100%.

Conclusion: It is raining.

I hate humidity, except when it rains.

Hypothesis: I hate humidity.

Conclusion: It rains.

I hate humidity, except when it rains.

Hypothesis: It rains.

Conclusion: I hate humidity.

If it is raining, then the humidity level is 100%.

Hypothesis: It is raining.

Conclusion: The humidity level is 100%.

Answer 1

last option is correct

if it is raining, humidity is 100%

let p equal "it is raining" and

let q = humidity is 100%

if p then q is equivalent to "if it is raining then the humidity is 100%

the last option and a conditional consistent with the hypothesis and conclusion

Answer 2

You can cancel out the two middle options:

1. I hate humidity, except when it rains.
2. Hypothesis: I hate humidity.
3. Conclusion: It rains.
4. I hate humidity, except when it rains.
5. Hypothesis: It rains.
6. Conclusion: I hate humidity.

This is because the hypothesis and conclusion clearly don't add up to the initial sentence given. The give conclusions actually contradict the initial statement.

The first option is also incorrect because the initial statement requires it to rain in order for the humidity to be 100% not vice versa. The hypothesis and conclusion should be switched around, therefore the fourth option is correct.

Correct answer:

1. If it is raining, then the humidity level is 100%.
2. Hypothesis: It is raining.
3. Conclusion: The humidity level is 100%.
