This statement is an example of the law of excluded middle, which states that a proposition must either be true or its negation must be true. In this case, "p" represents "it's going to rain tomorrow," and "∼p" represents "it is not going to rain tomorrow." Therefore, "p v ∼p" correctly symbolizes the statement, indicating that either it will rain tomorrow or it will not, with no third option possible.
