A conditional statement is “If you toss a coin, you will get either heads or tails”. The hypothesis is “you toss a coin” and the conclusion is “you will get either heads or tails”.

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. State the concept.

A conditional statement is usually written in the form of an if-then statement. The part of the statement following “if” is the hypothesis and the part following “then” is the conclusion.

Step 2. List the objective.

The objective is to write a conditional statement and label the hypothesis and conclusion.

Step 3. Write a conditional statement.

An example of a conditional statement is:

“If you toss a coin, you will get either heads or tails”.

Step 4. Identify hypothesis and conclusion.

The part of the statement following “if”, and thus the hypothesis is “you toss a coin”.

Similarly, the part of the statement following “then”, and thus, the conclusion is “you will get either heads or tails”.
