Discrete mathematics Solve the inference problem using the example I provide. Follow the example to solve the question.
Accepting the following premises:
1.
If it does not rain, or it is not foggy, then the sailing race will be held and the lifesaving demonstration will
go on.
2. If the sailing race is held, then the trophy will be awarded.
3. The trophy was not awarded.
Show that it rained.
Symbolically represent the propositions as follows:
r.

t:
It rained.
It was foggy.
The sailing race was held.
Lifesaving demonstration went on.
Trophy was awarded.
Then we have:

3. t
Accepting the premises, it suffices to show r.
And we have r as desired.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

1. If fish can fly, birds can swim.

2. If birds can swim, squirrels can talk.

3. If birds can swim and squirrels can talk, capybaras can write.

4. Fish can fly.

We have to show using inference, that capybaras can write.
