MHB Request to Solve Symbolic Logic Questions Using Strengthened Conditional Proof

Click For Summary
The discussion centers around a request for assistance in solving specific symbolic logic questions using the strengthened method of conditional proof from I.M. Copi's textbook. The original poster seeks direct solutions without demonstrating their understanding of the concepts involved. Respondents emphasize that the forum is meant for guidance rather than completing assignments, urging the requester to explain their current understanding of the topic. This approach encourages engagement and deeper learning rather than simply providing answers. Overall, the conversation highlights the importance of understanding the principles behind symbolic logic rather than seeking quick solutions.

Sir/madam,
I request you to solve 2 questions ( q-3 and q-5 ) of symbolic logic ( Strenthened method of conditional proof ).
These questions are taken from I.M.Copi's 'symbolic logic' ( edition -5, sec. 3.8, pg- 61 )View attachment 9679
File is being attached.
thank you
yours truly
Deep Kumar Trivedi

Your difficulty appears to be not only with Symbolic Logic but also with reading English. It is clearly stated that this forum is not intended to do your work for you but to help you. Tell us what you do understand about this problem (you might begin with telling us what your understanding of the "strong method of conditional proof" is) and you have been able to do on it.
 

Thread 'How do E[X] and E[|X|] relate?'

Greetings, I am studying probability theory [non-measure theory] from a textbook. I stumbled to the topic stating that Cauchy Distribution has no moments. It was not proved, and I tried working it via direct calculation of the improper integral of E[X^n] for the case n=1. Anyhow, I wanted to generalize this without success. I stumbled upon this thread here: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/how-to-prove-the-cauchy-distribution-has-no-moments.992416/ I really enjoyed the proof...
