Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the two numbers be x,y (x>y)

Then x+y = 16 and x-y = 2

We know that (x+y)^2 - (x-y)^2 = 4xy

So 4xy = 16^2 - 2^2 => 4xy = (16+2)(16–2)

So xy = 18×14/4 = 63

Product of the numbers = 63

Answer:

There is a 2% probability that the student is proficient in neither reading nor mathematics.

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this problem building the Venn's diagram of these probabilities.

I am going to say that:

A is the probability that a student is proficient in reading

B is the probability that a student is proficient in mathematics.

C is the probability that a student is proficient in neither reading nor mathematics.

We have that:

$A = a + (A \cap B)$

In which a is the probability that a student is proficient in reading but not mathematics and $A \cap B$ is the probability that a student is proficient in both reading and mathematics.

By the same logic, we have that:

$B = b + (A \cap B)$

Either a student in proficient in at least one of reading or mathematics, or a student is proficient in neither of those. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$(A \cup B) + C = 1$
