    I wanna see if I can clear some confusion. Some people are confused that this statement is not reversible. The statement can be edited to be reversible if you change "only if" to "if AND only if".
    For example: "(You can play video games) IF AND ONLY IF (you've finished your homework)" is a reversible statement. This is because it secretly holds several statements in one. "if AND only if" combines the forward version of a statement with it's backward version.
    SO! If you have "(You can play video games) IF (you've finished your homework)", you have V->H.
    If you have "(You can play video games) ONLY IF (you've finished your homework)", you have H->V.
    BUT! if you have "(You can play video games) IF AND ONLY IF (you've finished your homework)", you have the conjunction of both;
    (V->H)^(H->V) which is the same as saying VH.
    Hope I could help someone. It definitely helped me typing it down.

    +William Spaniel But Sir, In Example 2, both the statement and the converse are true
    If you can play video games, than you must've done your HW
    so V=>H
    and if you did your HW, then you can play video games
    V holds and H holds too, we express it with the notation VH
    In the statement V, we're talking about the possibility of playing video games, it'll only be possible if you did your HW, but you don't actually have to play video games, but it's still true that it's possible if you'd done your HW
    Please correct me if I'm wrong

    The only one that got me confused was #2.
    Are they not reversible?
    1. If you have finished your homework, you can play video games. (Because wouldn't finishing your homework automatically allow you to play video games, even if you don't?)
    2. You can only play video games if your homework is finished.
    So to me it seems like V H
    Although I don't think it would work if you take out the "Can".

    • @tomy7424
      @tomy7424 6 років тому

      "wouldn't finishing your homework automatically won't allowed you to play games" Cause there's a IF only if homework is finished then game. If you convert that sentence into IF-THEN, then you'll come up with V=>H

    For the example 2, I wrote ~H => ~V. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the sentence mean to say that if you don't finish your homework, you cannot play Video Games (as an order, which I have heard so many times btw).

      "Passing a driver's test is required to have a driver's license." This states that passing a driver's test is a necessary precondition for having a driver's license, but that doesn't mean that there aren't other unknown preconditions for having a driver's license. If I say, "Getting a driver's license requires you to *pass a driver's test* and you must pass a substance abuse and traffic laws course" then the statement, "If you have a driver's license, you have passed a driver's test" because it is a necessary precondition for having a driver's license. However, the reciprocal, "If you have passed a driver's test, you have a driver's license" is not true because it has not shown that you have completed the second necessary precondition, which is passing a substance abuse and traffic laws course.
      "Well, the statement, 'If you have a driver's license, you have passed a driver's test' is not true because it also doesn't show that you have completed the second requirement." This is false because it starts at the assumption that you have a driver's license. If you have a driver's license then you have obviously completed both of the necessary preconditions, a driver's test being one of them. The statement is true because, even though it doesn't state the second requirement of getting a driver's license, it is still obviously true that you have fulfilled the first precondition for the driver's license.

  • @osmio8780

    Example #1: P=>(O^C) // got it right!
    Example #2: I think both "If you've finished your homework, then you can play video games." and "If you can play video games, then you've finished your homework." could work. Maybe both H=>V and V=>H are valid so it's some kind of reciprocal condition? Such as (H=>V)^(V=>H). // aaand I was wrong.
    Example #3: "If one has a driver's license, the one passed the test" maybe? So L=>T // correct!
    Example #4: "If one doesn't want to pay absurd bank fees, then it is necessary for one to mantain a $1,000 balance". I'm guessing the first statement has to be considered as a negative version of "one wants to pay absurd bank fees"; my answer is ~F=>M // correct =D.
    Example #5: "If one has finished Game Theory 101, then one has a basic understanding of game theory". I'll go ahead and answer F=>U // I was right!

      I also thought the 2nd example was a biconditional until i came across a comment that basically says:
      -'Can' means that you have the OPTION to play video games
      - But 'Can' only applies if you assume that the video game is working. The video game has to work in order for you to 'Can' play it
      - So (H=>V)^(V=>H) is only true if you assume that the video game is working.
      - Since it is not stated that the video game is working H=>V is false
      - If you CAN play the video game, it necessarily means that it is working AND that you have finished your homework. therefore only V=>H is true

    Looking at example 5 for instance, if finishing game theory 101-> understand game theory
    This implies that one does not finish game theory OR they understand game theory??
    What if they underatand game theory from an alternative means? Or what about if someone did finish game theory 101 but didnt underatand it. Does all of my confusion have to do witb the first proposition not being true itself?

  • @SyedAmeedSA
    @SyedAmeedSA 8 років тому

    For example #4, I think it would be F -> M. Here are my reasoning:
    F: Not paying absurd bank fees
    M: Maintaining a $1,000 balance
    Therefore:
    F -> M (If you are not paying absurd bank fees, then you are maintaining a $1,000 balance)
    We cannot say ~F -> M because it means (If you ARE [negating the negative] paying absurd bank fees, then you ARE maintaining a $1,000 balance)
    We can say ~F -> ~M because it means (If you ARE paying absurd bank fees, then you ARE NOT maintaining a $1,000 balance)
    Please reply with regards to my correctness. Thanks :)

    • @Gametheory101
      @Gametheory101  8 років тому +1

      +Syed Ameed It looks like your mistake is identifying simple sentences. We can't use F to represent "you are not paying absurd bank fees" because "you are not paying absurd bank fees" is not a simple sentence. "You are paying absurd bank fees" is a simple sentence, though, and we can turn it into the antecedent of the conditional by adding a negation. Thus, ~F at the start.

    • @SyedAmeedSA
      @SyedAmeedSA 8 років тому

      William Spaniel Does the antecedent needs to be a simple sentence? I thought that we can use any statements, once it's closed and can be expressed as true or false.

    • @Gametheory101
      @Gametheory101  8 років тому

      +Syed Ameed The antecedent does not need to be a simple sentence. But single letters (like F) must be simple sentences. "I do not pay fees" = F isn't good because "I do not pay fees" is not a simple sentence. "I pay fees" is, however. So that's why we have ~F in the example.

    Finishing game theory 101 is sufficient to have a basic Understanding of game theory.
    F=>U
    Grammatically both sentences are the same, but we convert them differently.
    So how do we distinguish?
    What seems to work is applying the following structure:
    Left part is true => Right part is ALWAYS true
    Then:
    Conversion A: Left part (understanding game theory) => Right part (finishing game theory 101) is NOT always true, one might learn elsewhere
    Conversion B: Left part (finishing game theory 101) => Right part (understanding game theory) is ALWAYS True, no contraction here

      ​@@Gametheory101 no it doesn't, the English statement says to avoid absurd BANK FEE'S (all encompassing term), it is necessary to maintain a $1,000 dollar balance. To void M=>~f, you should specify what fee you're avoiding, otherwise the statement covers all possible fee's.
      the absurd complicates things, you could read it as expensive or unwarranted, but it is not a condition, it is a description of the bank fee's
      It should also say a minimum of $1,000 balance; otherwise you could say that you get bank fee's for having over $1,000 in the account and who would bank at a place like that? :P

This states that passing a driver's test is a necessary precondition for having a driver's license, but that doesn't mean that there aren't other unknown preconditions for having a driver's license. If I say, "Getting a driver's license requires you to pass a driver's test and you must pass a substance abuse and traffic laws course" then the statement, "If you have a driver's license, you have passed a driver's test" because it is a necessary precondition for having a driver's license. However, the reciprocal, "If you have passed a driver's test, you have a driver's license" is not true because it has not shown that you have completed the second necessary precondition, which is passing a substance abuse and traffic laws course.
      "Well, the statement, 'If you have a driver's license, you have passed a driver's test' is not true because it also doesn't show that you have completed the second requirement." This is false because it starts at the assumption that you have a driver's license. If you have a driver's license then you have obviously completed both of the necessary preconditions, a driver's test being one of them. The statement is true because, even though it doesn't state the second requirement of getting a driver's license, it is still obviously true that you have fulfilled the first precondition for the driver's license.

    Why can't we have:
    If you pass a driver's test, then you can have a driver's license.
    If you do not pay absurd fees, then it means you have a balance of >= 1000.

    • @TheActualCorrectOpinion

      "Passing a driver's test is required to have a driver's license." This states that passing a driver's test is a necessary precondition for having a driver's license, but that doesn't mean that there aren't other unknown preconditions for having a driver's license. If I say, "Getting a driver's license requires you to pass a driver's test and you must pass a substance abuse and traffic laws course" then the statement, "If you have a driver's license, you have passed a driver's test" because it is a necessary precondition for having a driver's license. However, the reciprocal, "If you have passed a driver's test, you have a driver's license" is not true because it has not shown that you have completed the second necessary precondition, which is passing a substance abuse and traffic laws course.
      "Well, the statement, 'If you have a driver's license, you have passed a driver's test' is not true because it also doesn't show that you have completed the second requirement." This is false because it starts at the assumption that you have a driver's license. If you have a driver's license then you have obviously completed both of the necessary preconditions, a driver's test being one of them. The statement is true because, even though it doesn't state the second requirement of getting a driver's license, it is still obviously true that you have fulfilled the first precondition for the driver's license.

      "To not pay absurd bank fees, it is necessary to maintain a 1000 balance." It's saying that maintaining a 1000 balance is a necessary precondition for not paying absurd bank fees, but that doesn't mean that there are other unknown necessary preconditions for not paying a 1000 balance. I could say, "In order to avoid paying absurd bank fees, it is necessary maintain a 1000 balance, Keep multiple accounts at your bank, and Use only your bank's ATMs." Therefore, it you do not pay absurd bank fees, you have fulfilled all three necessary preconditions, one of them being maintaining a 1000 balance. Therefore, if you do not pay absurd bank fees you have maintained a 1000 balance as that is one of the three necessary preconditions for avoiding absurd bank fees. However, this does not mean that maintaining a 1000 balance makes you avoid absurd bank fees because you still need to fulfill the other two necessary preconditions for avoiding the absurd bank fees. However, if not paying the absurd fees necessitates the three preconditions, then you have obviously fulfilled the precondition of maintaining a 1000 balance, just that you have also fulfilled the other two preconditions. But the sentence, "If you have avoided paying absurd bank fees, you have maintained a 1000 balance still remains true." Therefore, ~F => M, but maintaining a 1000 balance still necessitates the fulfillment of the other two preconditions for M => ~F to be true.

    STATEMENT : The accused will be hanged only if the President rejects his plea for clemency.
    Which of the following is logically valid conclusion:
    1) The President rejected his plea for clemency and so, the accused was hanged.
    2) The President didn't reject his plea for clemency and so the accused was not hanged.
    3) The accused was not hanged so the President must not have rejected his plea for clemency.
    4) None of these.

    I disagree with the notion that there is one single way to interpret these sentences. The real meaning of words is vague and undefined, one needs to simply feel the correct meaning. Who really is to say what is meant by a speaker, logically, when they express these sentences?
