. Let p, q, and r be the following statements:
p: Jamie is on the train.
q: Sylvia is at the park.
r: Nigel is in the car.
Translate the following statement into English: (p ~q) r
To translate the statement (p ~q) r into English, we need to break it down and interpret each part separately.
First, let's look at (p ~q). The symbol "~" represents the negation or "not" operator. So ~(p ~q) means "not (Jamie is on the train and Sylvia is at the park)."
Next, we have to consider r, which is "Nigel is in the car."
Putting it all together, (p ~q) r in English would be: "It is not the case that Jamie is on the train and Sylvia is at the park, but Nigel is in the car."
