Understand the Problem

The question appears to be discussing logical statements and their representations using propositions. It defines various logical operators such as implication, conjunction, and disjunction, providing examples of each with the use of statements p and q.

Answer

If I study, then I pass the test.

The statement p → q means 'If I study, then I pass the test.'

Answer for screen readers

The statement p → q means 'If I study, then I pass the test.'

More Information

In logic, the implication 'p → q' suggests that p being true guarantees q is also true. If you study, it leads to passing the test.

Tips

A common mistake is misinterpreting implications as causal relationships. 'If p, then q' doesn't mean 'p causes q.'
