A + b = 70
a = 2/5b

2/5b + b = 70
2/5b + 5/5b = 70
7/5b = 70
b = 70 * 5/7
b = 350/7
b = 50

a = 2/5b
a = 2/5(50)
a = 100/5
a = 20

the numbers are 50 and 20....the smallest being 20 and the largest being 50

X + 2/5x = 70
1x + 2/5x = 70
1 2/5 x = 70
7/5 x = 70  multiply both sides by 5
7x = 350  divide both sides by 7
x = 50    so 2/5 x = 20    the two numbers are 50 and 20
the larger of the two is 50

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

P (X \leq 11) = 0.0478

) for z = 80% ,  X = 13.88 mm Hg

Step-by-step explanation:

given data:

mean = 16 mm Hg

standard deviation  3 mm Hg

let  x be the percentage of individual which have intraocular pressure

a) P (X \leq 11)

P(\frac{x -\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{11 - 16}{3})

P(z \leq  - 1.66) = 0.0478

b) for z = 80%

P(Z>z ) = 0.8

P(\frac{x -\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{x - 16}{3}) = 0.80

z = \frac{x - 16}{3})

0.80 = \frac{x - 16}{3})

x = 13.8 mm  Hg
