Lesson 13 - Logic Statements and Quantifiers PDF

This document discusses logic statements and quantifiers. It defines simple and compound statements, and explains how truth values are determined for each. Compound statements use logic connectives like "and", "or", and "if...then" and can be written in symbolic form. Quantifiers like "all", "some", and "none" are used to make statements about sets. The document aims to explain these logic concepts so readers can distinguish between different types of statements, write them symbolically, and use quantifiers appropriately.

Logic Statements and Quantifiers

Module 14 Logic Statements and Quantifiers

At the end of this module, you are expected t0:


1. Distinguish between simple and compound statements.
2. Write compound statements in symbolic form and vice versa.
3. Use quantifiers appropriately.

Logic Statement
It refers to a statement is that is either true or false but not both true and false sentence
which is declarative
Simple statement – it is a statement that reveals a single idea.
Compound statement- it is statement that reveals two or more ideas.

Truth value and truth tables

Truth value-of a simple statement is either true (T) or false(f)


Truth value of a compound statement – it is dependent upon the truth values of its simple
statement and its connectives
Truth table- it is dependent upon the truth value of a compound statement for all possible truth
values of its simple statements
Logic Connectives and Symbols

Statement Connective Symbolic form Type of statement

not p not ~p negation

P and q and P^q conjunction

P or q or Pvq disjunction

If p,then q If …then P →q conditional

p if and only if q If and only if p↔q biconditional

Course Module
Truth value of a conjunction
If both p and q are true then the conjuction p∧ q is true
Truth value of a disjunction
If each of p and q is true or both p and q are true then disjunction p ∨ q is true

Existential quantifiers uses some and there exists and at least one in a sentence.

Universal quantifiers uses none, no ,all and every I n a statement. Quantifiers none and no
denies existence of something whereas all and every asserts that every element of a given set satisfies
some condition.
