To translate the compound statement "This is an octopus and it is not Tuesday" into symbolic form using the variables provided:
- Let \( p \) represent "This is an octopus."
- Let \( q \) represent "It is Tuesday."
The phrase "It is not Tuesday" can be represented as \( \neg q \) (negation of q).
Therefore, the compound statement "This is an octopus and it is not Tuesday" can be expressed symbolically as:
\[ p \land \neg q \]
So, the answer you would enter is:
**p ∧ ¬q**
