What is the inverse of the following statement? If Henry makes a 65 on the test, then Henry failed the test.
- A.
If Henry makes a 65 on the test, then Henry failed the test.
- B.
If Henry failed the test, then Henry made a 65 on the test.
- C.
If Henry did not make a 65 on the test, then Henry did not fail the test.
- D.
If Henry did not fail the test, then Henry did not make a 65 on the test.
Correct Answer
C. If Henry did not make a 65 on the test, then Henry did not fail the test.Explanation
The inverse of a conditional statement involves negating both the hypothesis and the conclusion. In this case, the original statement is "If Henry makes a 65 on the test, then Henry failed the test." The inverse of this statement is "If Henry did not make a 65 on the test, then Henry did not fail the test." This means that if Henry did not achieve a score of 65 on the test, then it can be concluded that he did not fail the test.Rate this question:

What is the converse of the following statement?If a whole number is divisible by 2, then it is even.
- A.
If a whole number is divisible by 2, then it is even.
- B.
If a whole number is even, then it is divisible by 2.
- C.
If a whole number is not divisible by 2, then it is not even.
- D.
If a whole number is not even, then it is not divisible by 2.
Correct Answer
B. If a whole number is even, then it is divisible by 2.Explanation
The converse of a conditional statement switches the hypothesis and conclusion. In this case, the original statement is "If a whole number is divisible by 2, then it is even." The converse of this statement is "If a whole number is even, then it is divisible by 2." This means that if a number is even, it can be divided by 2 without a remainder.Rate this question:

What is the contrapositive of the following statement?If Sally is 6 feet tall, then she plays basketball.
- A.
If Sally is 6 feet tall, then she plays basketball.
- B.
If Sally plays basketball, then she is 6 feet tall.
- C.
If Sally is not 6 feet tall, then she does not play basketball.
- D.
If Sally does not play basketball, then she is not 6 feet tall.
Correct Answer
D. If Sally does not play basketball, then she is not 6 feet tall.Explanation
The contrapositive of a conditional statement is formed by negating both the hypothesis and the conclusion, and reversing their positions. In this case, the original statement is "If Sally is 6 feet tall, then she plays basketball." The contrapositive would be "If Sally does not play basketball, then she is not 6 feet tall." This is because the hypothesis ("Sally does not play basketball") is negated and reversed to become the new conclusion, and the conclusion ("she is not 6 feet tall") is negated and reversed to become the new hypothesis.Rate this question:

- A.
Carl studied only 30 minutes and Carl passed the test.
- B.

- C.
Carl studied one hour for the test and Carl did not pass.
- D.
Carl studied for 2 hours and pass the test.
Correct Answer
B. Carl studied 3 hours for the test and Carl did not pass.Explanation
The statement "Carl studied 3 hours for the test and Carl did not pass" is a counterexample because it disproves the original statement. The original statement claims that if Carl studies at least two hours for the test, then Carl will pass. However, in this counterexample, Carl studied for 3 hours but did not pass the test. This shows that the original statement is not always true and can be contradicted by this counterexample.Rate this question:
