3. Let p and q be the propositions "The election is decided" and "The votes have been counted" respectively.


Let us express each of these compound propositions as an English sentence.


a) It follows that -p denotes the setence "The election is not decided";


b) It follows that p \lor q denotes the setence "The election is decided or the votes have been counted";


c) It follows that -p\land q denotes the setence "The election is not decided and the votes have been counted";


d) It follows that q\land (-p) denotes the setence "The votes have been counted and the election is not decided";


e) It follows that -q→p denotes the setence "If the votes have not been counted, then the election is decided";


f) It follows that pq denotes the setence "The election is decided and the votes have been counted";


g) It follows that p→q denotes the setence "If the election is decided, then the votes have been counted";


h) It follows that -q\lor (p\land q) denotes the setence "The votes have not been counted or the election is decided and the votes have been counted".
