What are the objects inside a set called?

Elements

100

One set inside another set is called a subset.

True

100

P: It is 3:24 pm.      Q: It is time to go home.

Make a conditional statement.

If it is 3:24 pm, then it is time to go home.

100

All corresponding sides of both triangles are equal.

Triangles are congruent.

Experimental Probability

What actually happens

200

A: {2, 3, 4, 5, 8}      B: {1, 6, 7}

What is the intersection of these two sets?

Empty set { }

200

A compound statements are formed by combining two or more simple statements.

True

200

P: It is 3:24 pm    Q: It is time to go home.

~P -> Q


If it is not 3:24 pm, then it is time to go home.

200

The corresponding sides length of two triangles have a ratio of 2:1.

Similar

Theoretical Probability

What Should Happen

300

A: {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}     B: {4, 6, 10}

What is the Union of these two sets?

{2, 4, 6, 8, 10}

300

It is after 5 pm.

This is an example of a compound statement.

False

It is a simple statement.

300

P: It is 3:24 pm    Q: It is time to go home.

~P -> ~Q

If it is not 3:24 pm, then it is not time to go home.

300

All the corresponding angles of two triangles are congruent.

Both similar and congruent by the ~AA Theorem.

300

Bi-conditional Statement

A statement that is true only when the component statements have the same truth value.

400

What is the probability of heads when flipping a coin?

50% or 1/2

400

The P and Q of a conditional statement can be called the "Antecedent" and "Consequent".

True:

The hypothesis is the Antecedent and the Conclusion is the Consequent.

400

P: A student studies.   Q: A student does their homework.  R: The student passes the class.                P ^ Q -> R

If a student studies and a student does their homework, then the student passes the class.

400

When two figures have two corresponding side lengths that are at a ratio of 2:1 and the third corresponding side has the ratio of 1.5:1.

Neither

400

Implications

Conditional statements that are tautologies

500

What is the probability of rolling a seven from a dice?

{ } The same has finding four legs on a chicken.

500

If one angle and the adjacent sides are congruent to the corresponding angle and sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.    If there a postulate to confirm this?

True,   SAS Theorem.

500

P: A student misses lecture.   Q: A student studies.   R: A student fails.          (Q ^ ~P) -> ~R


A student studies and a students does not miss a lecture, then the student does not fail.

500

A rectangle that one pair of sides is longer than the other pair; and a square.

Neither

500

Tautology

A compound statements that is always true.
