Response:

Events A and B exhibit independence.

Detailed explanation:

We are provided with

The multiplication principle applicable to events A and B

$P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B)$

A correct assertion regarding events A and B is necessary for this principle to hold.

It is understood that for two events A and B to be independent

Consequently, the probability

$P(A\cap B)=P(A)\cdot P(B)$

Thus, the correct assertion concerning events A and B for the application of this principle is stated as

Events A and B are independent.

Inessa [12570]

When rounding 243.875: to the nearest tenth, it becomes 243.9; to the nearest hundredth, it is 243.88; to the nearest ten, it rounds down to 240; and to the nearest hundred, it rounds down to 200. The general rule in rounding states that if the decimal is less than 5, the number remains the same; if it is 5 or more, you round up.

GI bisects with angle DGH so that m angle DGI is x - 3 and m angle IGH is 2x-13. What is x?

Inessa [12570]

X - 3 = 2x - 13
+x +x

-3 = 3x - 13
+13 +13

10 = 3x
10/3 3/3

3.3 = x

A mail clerk found that the total weight of 155 packages was 815 pounds. if each of the packages weighed either 3 pounds or 8 po

tester [12383]

To solve this problem, you'll need to create two equations:
x + y = 155 (total packages)
3x + 8y = 815 (total weight)
Next, multiply the first equation by 3: 3x + 3y = 465.
Then, subtract the first equation from the second to find that 5y = 350, which means y = 70. Thus, there are 70 packages that weigh 8 pounds.
