Question

Is the argument below valid or invalid? Write the argument in symbolic form and explain which type of standard argument it best matches.

"It is duck season or my name isn't Bugs Bunny. It isn't duck season. . My name isn't Bugs Bunny."​

Answer 1

Answer:

This is valid I'm pretty sure

Step-by-step explanation:

The is is because Bugs Bunny is disproved and he finds that it is not duck season, so it would be valid. I hope I'm right.

Answer 2

Answer:

The argument would be valid

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p = "It is duck season"

Let q = "My name is Bugs Bunny"

The formation would be:

p ∨ q

~ p

∴ ~q

If you made a truth value table, the critical row (means where the premises are true, in this case it would be ~p) has true premise and a true conclusion. Thus the argument is valid.
