Question 560464: I need help constructing the truth table for the information below please...
Write the statement in symbols using the p and q given below. Then construct a truth table for the symbolic statement and select the best match.
p = I eat too much. q = I'll exercise. If I exercise, then I won't eat too much.
--------
If I understand it correctly, the symbolic statement would look like this:
(not p)implies q
--------
What would the truth table look like??
Thanks

Write the statement in symbols using the p and q given below. Then construct a truth table for the symbolic statement and select the best match.
p = I eat too much. q = I'll exercise. If I exercise, then I won't eat too much.

If I understand it correctly, the symbolic statement would look like this:
(not p)implies q
=================================
If I exercise, then I won't eat too much.
My answer:
q implies (not p)
----------------------
Truth Table:
p..q:::::q......implies.....not p
t..t:::::t.........F...........f
t..f:::::f.........T...........f
f..t:::::t.........T...........t
f..f:::::f.........T...........t
