In order to evaluate an "If P, then Q" statement, one needs to know the truth values of P and Q. What have you been given?

When you reply, please include a clear listing of your efforts for each portion of the exercise. Thank you! ;)

I have been given the if statement as
if the gloves fit then the jury will acquit.
i tried this one as false coz the true has to be :
if the gloves fit then the jury will not acquit. Am i right here???
converse : if the jury will acuit then the gloves fit. this is true according to truth table.
inverse: if the gloves dont fit then the jury will not acquit. it is also true.
contrapositive is if the jury will not acquit then the gloves dont fit. True
this is my effort.
So am i right or not? Thanks.

Okay. So, in "if P, then Q", the "if" is "P: If the gloves fit then the jury will aquit." What then is the "then" statement Q? Also, are you given that the "if" statement P is true or false?

Please reply with the full and exact text of the exercise, and the complete instructions. Thank you! ;)
