Quick Conditional Reasoning Question

[satipod]

Hi! This might seem a bit trivial, or too close to test day to be asking, but today I was doing some last minute conditional review and I had a question come up. Although I've been getting through questions without diagramming this certain kind of condition, I was wondering if I could diagram something like "Not all plumbers are men" the same way I would diagram "Some plumbers are men". That makes sense in my head, but I just wanted to make sure. Thanks!

Hi!

First of all, you're right that you shouldn't be studying today!

With that said, if not all plumbers are men, what does that really mean? That there is at least one plumber who is not a man.

In other words, some plumbers are not men.


I hope that's helpful, and good luck tomorrow!

Thanks for your comment--I agree that ideally, all studying should be done prior to the day before the test! Taking the day off is a great way to rest up and come back strong on test day--I hope it went well!
