Question: Proposition. All EECS 2 0 3 students are from Michigan. Incorrect Proof. Let m be the proposition that all EECS 2 0 3 students are

Proposition. All EECS 203 students are from Michigan.
Incorrect Proof. Let m be the proposition that all EECS 203 students are from Michigan,
and let A(x) be the predicate that student x is from Ann Arbor. Notice that we have
x A(x)
-> m,
that is, if all EECS 203 students are from Ann Arbor then they are all from Michigan. We
next rearrange this expression using our logical equivalence laws:
x A(x)
m implication breakout
x A(x)
m DeMorgan
x
A(x) m
x
A(x)-> m
. implication breakout
The last line states that, if there exists an EECS 203 student from Ann Arbor, then m is
true. We have checked the roster and there does indeed exist an EECS 203 student from
Ann Arbor, so we conclude that m is true.
