A - n is a prime number (all primes are positive)
B - n is an odd number
C - n equals 2

Conditional : If A then B or C.
Negation : If A then -B or -C.
Converse : If B or C, then A.
Inverse : If -A then -B or -C.
Contrapositive : If -B or -C, then -A.

-A - n is not a prime number
-B - n is not an odd number or n is an even number
-C - n does not equal 2
.
.

Work through the conditionals and determine the truth values.
I'll do the first one.
If n is prime, then n is either odd or equals 2. TRUE, if it was even, then you could divide by 2 and it wouldn't be prime.
