What does → mean

• Not

• And

• Or

• If... Then...

State the value of the following compound proposition: Arizona is a continent OR 2+2 = 4.

• T

• F

Answer explanation

The compound proposition consists of two statements: 'Arizona is a continent' and '2+2=4'. The first statement is false, as Arizona is a state, not a continent. The second statement is true, as 2+2 does equal 4. Since the proposition is an OR statement, it is true if at least one of the statements is true. Therefore, the value of the compound proposition is true (T).
