The answer is actually choice A
---------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------
If we add up the equations straight down we will have 0a+2b = 6
Note how adding the 'a' terms gives us 3a + (-3a) = 3a-3a = 0a. The 0a term is really 0 since 0 times anything is 0. So the 'a' terms will go away
The equation 0a+2b = 6 turns into 0+2b = 6 and that simplifies to 2b = 6
To isolate b, we divide both sides by 2
2b = 6
2b/2 = 6/2
b = 3
We can stop here since only one answer choice has b = 3, which is choice A. However, let's keep going to find the value of 'a'
Plug b = 3 into any equation with 'a' and 'b', then solve for 'a'
3a+4b = 9
3a+4*3 = 9
3a+12 = 9
3a+12-12 = 9-12
3a = -3
3a/3 = -3/3
a = -1
So a = -1 and b = 3 pair up to form (a,b) = (-1,3)
--------------------------------------
To check, plug this ordered pair back into both equations
Equation 1:
3a+4b = 9
3*(-1)+4*3 = 9
-3+12 = 9
9 = 9
Equation 1 has been checked out
Equation 2:
-3a-2b = -3
-3(-1)-2(3) = -3
3 - 6 = -3
-3 = -3
this is true as well
So this confirms that the final answer is choice A

Step-by-step explanation:
the mean is the average of the set of numbers, which makes it perfect for summarizing data.

Answer:
+/- 1.9983
Step-by-step explanation:
The critical values for a confidence interval for the population mean, with population standard deviation not known, are obtained from the student's t distribution.
The sample size is given as 64. The degrees of freedom will thus be;
sample size - 1 = 64 - 1 = 63
The confidence level is given as 95%. The level of significance will thus be;
100 - 95 = 5%.
The area in the right-tail will thus be 2.5%. Therefore, we looking for a t-value such that the area to its right is 2.5% and the degrees of freedom being 63. From the t-tables we have;
+/- 1.9983
4 x 8= 16+16 8 x 4 is 32 and 16-32 is 16 so the missing number is 16.
