contrapositive: if it is raining outside, then patty will not go to the store.
given the contrapositive, what is the original statement?

The original statement is "If Patty goes to the store, then it will be no rain outside".

Explanation:

Switching the main reason and the conclusion of a conditional statement and interchanging both terms is termed as Contrapositive.  Contraposition refers to the inference of going from a conditional statement into its equivalent logic.Here the hypothesis is "it is raining outside" and the conclusion is " Patty will go to the store". When these terms are switched, it gives the contrapositive.The conditional statement is "If ~q then ~p". then, the representation of contrapositive of p and q is ~q ~p.
