Expert Solution

Step 1: Introduction :

                A  Compound statement, in logic and mathematics , is a statement that is formed by combining two or more simpler statements using logical connectives. These simpler statements, known as atomic propositions or simply propositions , are the building blocks  of the compound statement. Logical connectives, such as "and" (^), "or" (V), "not"(-), "implies"(=>), and "if and only if" ( <=>), are used to create compound statements from atomic propositions. 

               The truth value of a statement or proposition is an assignement of either true (T) or false (F) to that statement based on the  interpretation of the statement in a given context or under a specific set of assumptions. The truth value of a  compound statement is determined by the truth values of its component atomic propositions and the rules of logic, as specified by logical connectives that combine these atomic  propositions. 

         A compound statement is formed by combining simpler statements  using logical connectives, and the truth value of a compound statement is based on the truth values of its constituent atomic propositions and the logical operations  used to connect them.
