For the following questions, (i) formalize the argument, (ii) construct and complete a truth table, and (iii) evaluate that truth table. For your evaluation, determine whether the argument is a tautology, contingent, or contradictory, and decide whether it is valid or invalid. Please interpret disjunctions exclusively
If an android is rational, then it’s conscious, and if it’s conscious, then it has reflective mental activity. But no android has reflective mental activity, so it’s not rational.

For the following questions, (i) formalize the argument, (ii) construct and complete a truth table, and (iii) evaluate that truth table. For your evaluation, determine whether the argument is a tautology, contingent, or contradictory, and decide whether it is valid or invalid. Please interpret disjunctions exclusively. Androids can solve problems and they can deliberate. And if they can either deliberate or solve problems, then they’re rational. So androids are rational.
For the following questions, (i) formalize the argument, (ii) construct and complete a truth table, and (iii) evaluate that truth table. For your evaluation, determine whether the argument is a tautology, contingent, or contradictory, and decide whether it is valid or invalid. Please interpret disjunctions exclusively Either a soul is a material entity or it’s a nonmaterial entity. If a soul is a material entity, then if an android is material, it could have a soul. Now an android is...
QUESTION 3 Symbolize the following argument using the variables p, q, and r. Then construct a complete truth table to show whether or not the argument is valid. Use 1 for T(true) and 0 for F(false). Valid or Invalid? Why? Prove. Explain what your truth table shows. 10 points Total: 3 points for correct symbolic form, 4 points for valid/invalid and reason, 3 points for correct truth table. If Max studies hard, then Max gets an 'A' or Max gets...
QUESTION 2 Determine whether the following argument is valid using the long or short truth-table method. Premise 1 If Angela is hungry, she eats pizza. Premise 2 Angela is not eating pizza. Therefore, Angela is not hungry. The above argument is a) valid b) invalid
QUESTION 3 Determine whether the following argument is valid using the long or short truth-table method. P1 If Mary is hungry, she eats pizza. P2 If Bill is thirsty, he drinks water. P3 Mary is not eating pizza OR Bill is not drinking water. Therefore, Bill is not thirsty. The above argument is a) valid b) invalid
