Final answer:

Based on the given information, it is not possible to determine which equation is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the given information, we are told that J and K are independent events. If two events are independent, then the probability of their intersection is equal to the product of their individual probabilities. So, if P(J) = 0.3 and P(K) = 0.63, then P(J AND K) = P(J)*P(K) = 0.3*0.63 = 0.189. Now let's evaluate each option:

  1. Option A: JM = 24 does not provide any information about the relationship between J and K, so we cannot determine if it is true or false based on the given information.
  2. Option B: JK = 48 would be false if J and K were dependent, but since they are independent, we cannot determine if it is true or false based on the given information.
  3. Option C: JL = 48 does not provide any information about the relationship between J and K, so we cannot determine if it is true or false based on the given information.
  4. Option D: LM = 24 does not provide any information about the relationship between J and K, so we cannot determine if it is true or false based on the given information.

Therefore, based on the given information, it is not possible to determine which equation is FALSE. Options A, B, C, and D could all be either true or false.

D
LM = 48/2 =24 24 times the square root of 3 is not 24.
