Hi,
we all like to do the home work of students!
NSolve[{Integrate[
PDF[NormalDistribution[0, 1], z], {z, (c - 75)/10/Sqrt[n],
Infinity}] == 5/100,
Integrate[
PDF[NormalDistribution[0, 1], z], {z, (c - 78)/10/Sqrt[n],
Infinity}] == 9/10
}, {c, n}]
??
Next time, make your home work *alone* because otherwise
you will learn nothing.
Regards
Jens
