Lesson 1 : Identifying hypothesis

and conclusion in Conditional

statements
What is a conditional statement?

A conditional statement is a compound statement

of the form “if p then q” where p and q are
statements.
What is a conditional statement?

The first statement p , is called the hypothesis and

usually begins with if . While the second statement
q usually begins with then is called the
conclusion.

Hypothesis (p) conclusion (q)
 what is hypothesis?

Is a tentative assumption made in order

to draw out and test its logical or
empirical consequence.
 what is conclusion?

Is a necessary consequence of one or

more propositions takes as premises.
 Examples

If a number is greater than zero, then the

number is positive.
Hypothesis: The number is greater than zero.
Conclusion: The number is positive.
 Examples

If the base angles of a triangle are equal,

then the triangle is isosceles.
Hypothesis: The base angles of a triangle are equal.
Conclusion: The triangle is isosceles.
 Examples

If 3(n + 1) = 6, then n = 1.

Hypothesis: 3(+1) = 6
Conclusion: n = 1
 Lesson 2: Transforming a
Statement into on Equivalent
If-Then Statement
 YOu must...
1.Determine the appropriate hypothesis and conclusion for the
statement.
2. Express the hypothesis and the conclusion into the if-then form of a
statement.
3.Use appropriate pronouns of terms in constructing the conclusion
part of the statement.
 examples.
a. Mark sleeps early and wakes up early
Solution:
a.Hypothesis: Mark sleeps early.
Conclusion: Mark will wake up early.
If-then statement: If Mark sleeps early, then he will wake up early.
 examples.
b. Two congruent segments have equal lengths.
a.Hypothesis: Two segments are congruent.
Conclusion: The segments have equal length.
If-then statement: If two segments are congruent, then they have
equal lengths.

1. An angle is a right angle if it measures 90.

2. The points are collinear whenever they lie on the same line.
3. All even numbers are divisible by two.
 Answers!!!
1. If an angle measures 90 degree, then it is a right angle.
2. If the points lie on the same line, then it is collinear.
3. If all numbers are divisible by two, then they are even numbers.
