Use the conditional statement to answer the question. if a number is a prime number, then the number is odd. can the statement be written as a biconditional statement and why? a.) yes, because the statement and its converse are both true b.) no, because the statement is false, but its converse is true c.) no, because the statement is true, but its converse is false d.) no, because the statement and its converse are both false

For a statement to be biconditional, both the statement and its inverse must be true.

The prime numbers are the numbers that can only be divided between themselves and between 1. For example: 7,19,11 .

The even numbers are those that when divided by 2, result in a whole number. If a number is not even, then it's odd .

Not all prime numbers are odd. For example, the number 2 is a prime number and is even.

The inverse of the statement is also not true. The number 9, for example, is an odd number, however, it is not a prime number, it is already divided by 3.

So both the statement and its inverse are false.

The correct answer is option D): No, because the statement and its conversation are false
