Question

which of the following is a counterexample for this conditional statement? if a man uses a camera at his job, then he is a photographer. a carpenter who uses a camera to take pictures of the things he builds a mechanic who does not use a camera to do his job a photographer who regularly uses a cameras to do his job an electrician who does not use a camera on the job

Explanation:

A counter - example is a case that shows a conditional statement is false. The conditional statement is “If a man uses a camera at his job, then he is a photographer.” We need to find a man who uses a camera at his job but is not a photographer.

• A carpenter who uses a camera to take pictures of the things he builds: This man uses a camera at his job (to document his work) but is not a photographer. So this is a counter - example.
• A mechanic who does not use a camera to do his job: This does not relate to the hypothesis (using a camera at job) of the conditional statement, so it cannot be a counter - example.
• A photographer who regularly uses a camera to do his job: This is an example that supports the conditional statement, not a counter - example.
• An electrician who does not use a camera on the job: This does not relate to the hypothesis (using a camera at job) of the conditional statement, so it cannot be a counter - example.

Answer:

a carpenter who uses a camera to take pictures of the things he builds
