Answer

Converse: "If I cannot concentrate, then the radio is playing." Inverse: "If the radio is not playing, then I can concentrate."

Work Step by Step

RECALL: (1) The converse of $p \longrightarrow q$ is $q \longrightarrow p$. (2) The inverse of $p \longrightarrow q$ is $\neg p \longrightarrow \neg q$. The given statement contains: $p$: The radio is playing. $q$: I cannot concentrate. Thus, we have: Converse: "If I cannot concentrate, then the radio is playing." Inverse: "If the radio is not playing, then I can concentrate."
