Converse, Inverse, and Contrapositive
Given a statement of the form: "if p then q", then we can create three related statements:
Converse
To form the converse of the conditional statement, interchange p and q.
The converse of “If you are born in some country, then you are a citizen of that country” is “If you are a citizen of some country, then you are born in that country.”
Inverse
To form the inverse of the conditional statement, take the negation of both the p and q.
The inverse of “If you are born in some country, then you are a citizen of that country” is “If you are not born in some country, then you are not a citizen of that country.”
Contrapositive
To form the contrapositive of the conditional statement, interchange the p and q and take negation of both.
The Contrapositive of “If you are born in some country, then you are a citizen of that country” is “If you are not a citizen of that country, then you are not born in some country.”
These can be summarized as
$\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}\hline \text { Statement } & \mathrm{\;\;\;}{\text { If } p, \text { then } q} \mathrm{\;\;\;}& \mathrm{\;\;\;}p\rightarrow q \mathrm{\;\;\;}\\ \hline \text { Converse } & \mathrm{\;\;\;}{\text { If } q, \text { then } p} \mathrm{\;\;\;}&\mathrm{\;\;\;}q\rightarrow p \mathrm{\;\;\;} \\ \hline \text { Inverse } & \mathrm{\;\;\;}{\text { If not } p, \text { then not } q} \mathrm{\;\;\;}& \mathrm{\;\;\;}(\sim p) \rightarrow(\sim q) \mathrm{\;\;\;} \\ \hline \text { Contrapositive } & \mathrm{\;\;\;}{\text { If not } q, \text { then not } p} \mathrm{\;\;\;}& \mathrm{\;\;\;}(\sim q) \rightarrow(\sim p) \mathrm{\;\;\;}\\ \hline\end{array}$
Note:
- A given statement and its contrapositive have the same meaning
- As inverse is the contrapositive of converse, so it has the same meaning as the converse
- A given statement (= contrapositve) is NOT the same as its converse (=Inverse)
