draggable item \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcategory
if you do not play professional basketball, then you are not an athlete. \t→ \tconverse
if you are an athlete, then you play professional basketball. \t→ \tinverse
if you are not an athlete, then you do not play professional basketball. \t→ \tcontrapositive

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  1. For a conditional statement \( p \to q \) (where \( p \): "you play professional basketball", \( q \): "you are an athlete"):
  • Inverse: Negates both \( p \) and \( q \), so \(

eg p \to
eg q \). The statement "If you do not play professional basketball, then you are not an athlete" matches \(
eg p \to
eg q \), so it is the inverse.

  • Converse: Swaps \( p \) and \( q \), so \( q \to p \). The statement "If you are an athlete, then you play professional basketball" matches \( q \to p \), so it is the converse.
  • Contrapositive: Negates and swaps \( p \) and \( q \), so \(

eg q \to
eg p \). The statement "If you are not an athlete, then you do not play professional basketball" matches \(
eg q \to
eg p \), so it is the contrapositive.

Answer:

  • "If you do not play professional basketball, then you are not an athlete." → inverse
  • "If you are an athlete, then you play professional basketball." → converse
  • "If you are not an athlete, then you do not play professional basketball." → contrapositive
