Detailed question for Stormknight.

"If Jody doesn't pay her ticket, she will go to jail." Which other statement must be true?

If Jody goes to jail, she didn't pay her ticket.

If Jody pays her ticket, she won't go to jail.

If Jody doesn't go to jail, she paid her ticket.

Explain not only why this is right (ie some formula A=B, then B=A)

but how this is useful in understanding a particular situation.

All three seem to make sense to me.

A reflective logic question. It has to have a negative in the first part implying the positive in the second part, with "doesn't" as the negative modifier.

(if (-)B=A, then (-)A=B)

Detailed question for Stormknight.

"If Jody doesn't pay her ticket, she will go to jail." Which other statement must be true?

If Jody goes to jail, she didn't pay her ticket.

If Jody pays her ticket, she won't go to jail.

If Jody doesn't go to jail, she paid her ticket.

Explain not only why this is right (ie some formula A=B, then B=A)

but how this is useful in understanding a particular situation.

All three seem to make sense to me.

In terms that SK didn't use, the first part is called the antecedent, the second is called the consequent. What it means is in every case where the antecedent is true, the consequent is true.

To use another example, because the negations in the premise make things confusing, consider the sentence, "If Jody jumps in the air anywhere on Earth, she will come back down." Here, it is clear that the sentence is asserting that in NO case, will Jody jump on Earth and not come back down. She may come back down to Earth without having jumped, say in the case that she tripped and fell. She may not have jumped and also may not have come back down to Earth, but NEVER EVER will Jody jump into the air on Earth and not come back down.

Now consider again the sentence in the test. It may be that Jody paid her ticket and went to jail for some other offense, but it will never be the case that Jody didn't pay her ticket and then didn't go to jail.

The reason these sentences, called conditionals, are useful is that they help point out special relations between propositions (or statements that assert some truth condition about the world). What I find most interesting about them is that conditionals with false (always false) consequents are always true. It may seem senseless, but consider that conditionals are only false if the antecedent is true and the consequent not. So sentences like, "If I have your mother for lunch, Santa Claus will be president of the United States," are always true by virtue of the fact that Santa Claus, despite his popularity and liberal politics, will never be president.
