Exercise Logic With Ans
The following predicates are defined: friend is " is a friend of mine" wealthy is " is wealthy" clever is " is clever" boring is " is boring"
Write each of the following propositions using predicate notation: 1 Jimmy is a friend of mine. 2 Sue is wealthy and clever. 3 Jane is wealthy but not clever. 4 Both Mark and Elaine are friends of mine. 5 If Peter is a friend of mine, then he is not boring. 6 If Jimmy is wealthy and not boring, then he is a friend of mine.
Logic Exercise 2
1 Using the same predicates you defined in Exercise 1, symbolise each of the following. (a) Some of my friends are clever. (b) All clever people are boring. (c) None of my friends is wealthy. (d) Some of my wealthy friends are clever. (e) All my clever friends are boring. (f) All clever people are either boring or wealthy.
2 Define suitable propositional functions, and hence symbolise: (a) All pop-stars are overpaid. (b) Some RAF pilots are women. (c) No students own a Rolls-Royce. (d) Some doctors cannot write legibly.

lN-CIASS EXERCISE : LOGIC Translate the following English context into propositional logic formulae. There is no way that I'll get to tomorrow's lecture without my friend who always insists on talking to me throughout the lecture. Since I can't concentrate on the subject while she's talking I may as well not come.

Equivalences For each sentence, determine which of the sentences beneath it are equivalent to it. There may be more than one. (To determine if two sentences are equivalent to each other, symbolize the sentences and determine if the symbolizations are equivalent to teach other.)
1) "Being rich is not sufficient for being happy." R = Some is rich. H = Someone is happy. a) "someone can be rich but not happy."
b) "someone can be happy but not rich." c) "lt isn't the case that either someone isn't rich or they are happy." d) "lt isn't the case that either someone is happy or they aren't rich." e) "lt isn't the case that either someone isn't happy or they are rich." f) "Not being rich is sufficient for not being happy."
2) "Unless the class is full, she'll take it." F = The class is full. T = She'll take the class. a) "Either the class is full or she'll take it." b) "lf she doesn't take the class then it's full." c) "lf she does take the class then it isn't full." d) "lt's not the case that the class isn't full and she won't take it." e) "The class is full only if she doesn't take it." f) "Her taking the class is not necessary for the class being full."
