In Mrs. Mary’s Math class she asked her students to write the
conditional statement of “An
honest student does not cheat during examination.”. One of the
students answered “If you do not

Another student raised hand and answered
“If you are honest student, then you do not cheat during

hand and answered “If you are not honest student, then you
cheat during examination.”. And lastly,
a fourth student answered “If you cheat during examination,
then you are not honest student.”.

statement of “An honest student does not cheat during
examination.”?

Example: If it is an odd number , then the number word has an "E" in it.

Hypothesis Conclusion
It is an (p)
odd number (q)
The number word has
an "E" in it

Converse Statement:
if q, then p.
If the number word has an "E" in it, then it is an odd number.
Example: If it is an odd number , then the number word has an "E" in it.

Hypothesis Conclusion
It is an (p)
odd number (q)
The number word has
an "E" in it

Contrapositive Statement:
if not q, then not p.
If the number word has NO "E" in it, then it is NOT an odd
number.
Example: If it is an odd number , then the number word has an "E" in it.

Hypothesis Conclusion
It is an (p)
odd number (q)
The number word has
an "E" in it

Inverse Statement:
if not p, then not q.
If it is NOT an odd number, then the number word has NO
"E" in it.
Example: If a figure is a square, then it is a quadrilateral

Hypothesis Conclusion
a figure(p)
is a square (q)
it is a quadrilateral

Converse Statement:
if q, then p.
If a figure is a quadrilateral, then it is a square.
Example: If a figure is a square, then it is a quadrilateral

Hypothesis Conclusion
a figure(p)
is a square (q)
it is a quadrilateral

Contrapositive Statement:
if not q, then not p.
If a figure is NOT a quadrilateral, then it is NOT a square.
Example: If a figure is a square, then it is a quadrilateral

Hypothesis Conclusion
a figure(p)
is a square (q)
it is a quadrilateral

Inverse Statement:
if not p, then not q.
If a figure is NOT a square, then it is NOT a quadrilateral.
