Note: the solutions to most of the multiple choice questions in these sections use what call the standard assignment of truth values to atomic propositions. The standard assignment of truth values assigns the values given here to the variables in the wffs in the exercises, when read left to right. So, the first variable in the formula read left to right gets the α assignment; the second variable in the formula read left to right (if any) gets the β assignment; the third variable in the formula read left to right (if any) gets the γ assignment; and the fourth variable in the formula read left to right (if any) gets the δ assignment.
For exercises with only one propositional variable, the standard assignment is:
For exercises with two propositional variables, the standard assignment is:
For exercises with three propositional variables, the standard assignment is:
For exercises with four propositional variables, the standard assignment is:
For each of the given propositions, determine which of the given sequences properly describes the column under the main operator, given the standard assignment of truth values to atomic propositions.
-[P ? (?R ? Q) ] [(Q R) (?P • R) ]
Body Mass Index
A numerical measurement calculated from height and weight that is used to assess whether a person is underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese.
Overweight
A condition characterized by an individual having more body fat than is optimally healthy for their height and build.
Evolutionary Approach
A perspective in various disciplines, including psychology and biology, that seeks to explain traits, behaviors, and strategies as adaptations that have evolved to solve reproductive and survival problems.
Drive-Reduction Approach
A theory in psychology that posits behavior is motivated by the desire to reduce internal tension caused by unmet biological needs, such as hunger or thirst.
