Answer

False.

Work Step by Step

In mathematics, when the connective $or$ appears, it means the inclusive $or$. If $p$ and $q$ represent two simple statements, then the compound statement “$p\text{ or }q$ means $p$ or$ q$ or both. The compound statement formed by connecting statements with the word $or$is called a disjunction. The symbol for $or$ is ∨. Thus, we can symbolize the compound statement “$p\text{ or }q$ or both” by $p ∨ q$. The given statement is false.
