Transcript text: Let $p$ represent the statement "She has green eyes," and let $q$ represent the statement "He is 60 years old." Write the statement $\sim p \wedge \sim q$.
Solution
Solution Steps
To write the statement $\sim p \wedge \sim q$ in Python, we need to understand that $\sim p$ represents the negation of $p$ and $\sim q$ represents the negation of $q$. The symbol $\wedge$ represents the logical AND operation. Therefore, $\sim p \wedge \sim q$ means "not p AND not q."
Step 1: Define the Statements
Let \( p \) represent the statement "She has green eyes," and let \( q \) represent the statement "He is 60 years old."
Step 2: Negate the Statements
The negation of \( p \) is \( \neg p \), and the negation of \( q \) is \( \neg q \).
Step 3: Combine the Negations with Logical AND
The statement \( \neg p \wedge \neg q \) means "not \( p \) AND not \( q \)."
Step 4: Evaluate the Logical Expression
Given \( p = \text{True} \) and \( q = \text{True} \):
