Question

Indicate whether the following principles are true or false and why. 1. If having feature $F$ is a sufficient condition for having feature $G$, then having feature $G$ is a necessary condition for having feature $F$. 2. If having feature $F$ is a sufficient condition for having feature $G$, then lacking feature $F$ is a necessary condition for lacking feature $G$. 3. If lacking feature $F$ is a sufficient condition for having feature $G$, then having feature $F$ is a necessary condition for lacking feature $G$. 4. If lacking feature $F$ is a sufficient condition for having feature $G$, then lacking feature $F$ is a necessary condition for having feature $G$. 5. If having either feature $F$ or feature $G$ is a sufficient condition for having feature $H$, then having feature $F$ is a sufficient condition for having feature $H$. 6. If having either feature $F$ or feature $G$ is a sufficient condition for having feature $H$, then having feature $G$ is a sufficient condition for having feature $H$. 7. If having either feature $F$ or feature $G$ is a sufficient condition for having feature $H$, then not having feature $F$ is a necessary condition for not having feature $H$. 8. If having both feature $F$ and feature $G$ is a necessary condition for having feature $H$, then lacking feature $F$ is a sufficient condition for lacking feature $H$. 9. If not having both feature $F$ and feature $G$ is a sufficient condition for having feature $H$, then lacking feature $F$ is a sufficient condition for having feature $H$. 10. If having either feature $F$ or feature $G$ is a sufficient condition for having feature $H$, then having both feature $F$ and feature $G$ is a sufficient condition for having feature $H$.

Step 1

" - This statement is **False**. A sufficient condition means that if $F$ is true, then $G$ must also be true. However, $G$ can be true without $F$ being true, so $G$ is not necessarily a condition for $F$.  Show more…
