Answer

The columns in the truth table for $\neg(p\oplus q)$ and $p\leftrightarrow q$ are identical, so the statements are logically equivalent.

Work Step by Step

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc} p & q & p\oplus q & \neg(p\oplus q)\\ \hline & & & \\ T & T & F & T\\ T & F & T & F\\ F & T & T & F\\ F & F & F & T \end{array}\right.\left[\begin{array}{cl} p\leftrightarrow q\\ \hline \\ T\\ F\\ F\\ T \end{array}\right]$
