Sign In
Identify the hypothesis and the conclusion.
If you are in a band, then you play the drums.
To write the conditional statement in if-then form, we have to identify the statement's hypothesis and conclusion. In the if-then form, the hypothesis comes after if
and the conclusion comes after then.
Hypothesis:&If...
Conclusion:&then...You are in a band, and you play the drums.
Here we start with that you are in a band, and then you play the drums. We can identify the hypothesis and conclusion.
You are in a band,and you play the drums.
Now we can write the statement in if-then form.
If you are in a band,
then you play the drums
If you are in a band, then you play the drumsis not a true statement. If you are in a band, you could be playing the electric guitar, the base, the clarinet, or any other instrument. You could also be the manager. Therefore, it does not naturally follow that if you are in a band, you play the drums.
