The statement "Jim does not play football or Michael plays basketball" translates to the logical expression $\sim p \vee q$, where $\sim p$ means "Jim does not play football" and $q$ means "Michael plays basketball". The $\vee$ symbol represents "or".

Let P Represent the Statement, ʺJim Plays Footballʺ, and Let ∼p∨q\sim p \vee q∼p∨q
