Converse and inverse errors are typical forms of invalid arguments. Prove that each argument is invalid by giving truth values forthe variables showing that the argument is invalid. You may find it easier to find the truth values by constructing a truth table. (a) Converse error p→q q ∴p (b) Inverse error p→q ¬p ∴¬q
