In Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018), Hank and his daughter Hope learn that Janet has been using Scott as her antenna:

Hank: I'm tracking your signal using subatomic frequencies... between point two and point nine.

Scott (as Janet): I'd narrow it to four and six.

Hank: That's too tight. We could miss you.

Scott (as Janet): Look at us squabbling again.

Hank: Fine. All right, between three and seven.

What is the significance of "sums to 10" in this scene?

    2 + 9 = 11, not 10, so I don’t think there is any significance. Basically, after the first, the rest are two numbers equidistant from 0.5 which will always sum to 10.

There is none.

They're just discussing intervals, some more narrow than others. Hank suggests [0.2, 0.9], and Scott suggests something smaller, [0.4, 0.6]. Since Hank thinks that's too narrow, they compromise on [0.3, 0.7]. The intervals are approximately centered around 0.5 and equidistant from there.
