Which is a conditional statement? If it is sunny, we can play ball. It is sunny today. It is sunny or rainy. It is sunny across the street, but not sunny here.

The correct answer is letter "A": If it is sunny, we can play ball.

Explanation:

A conditional statement has the "If ..., then ... " format. In mathematics the "if" clause is usually symbolized with a "p" and is the segment's hypothesis, the logical connector with the symbol →, and the clause after the connector with a "q" which is the conclusion. Thus, "p → q". In such a case, the segment:

If it is sunny, we can play ball.

p: If it is sunny q: we can play ball

Answer: If it is sunny, we can play ball.

Explanation:

A conditional statement, symbolized by p-->q, is an if-then statement where p is a hypothesis and q is a conclusion. A conditional statement is a compound statement.

In the above, the sentence "It is sunny" is the hypothesis while "we can play ball" is the conclusion. Thus, the conditional proposition is represented by "If it is sunny, then we can play ball".

Hypotheses followed by a conclusion is called an If-then statement or a conditional. A conditional statement is false if hypothesis is true and the conclusion is false. When we re-arrange a conditional statement or change parts of it then we have what is called a related conditional.
