39 and 23!

If we broke down the problem to 62=x+y (y being the smaller number) we can solve from there.
If y is the smaller number, then y= x-16
Therefore if we plug that back in we get 62=x+x-16 which simplifies to 62=2x-16.
Now we just solve for x which is the bigger number and we get 39. But we still have y which is 16 less so we subtract 16 from 39 to get 23.

23 and 39

23 + 39 = 62
39 - 23 = 16

Answer:

a) The probability of sampling at random a fish that is smaller in size than the value you would obtain by subtracting half the standard deviation from the average is 0.3085.

b) The probability of sampling at random a fish that is greater in size than the value you would obtain by adding half the standard deviation from the average is 0.3085.

c) The probability of sampling at random a fish that has a size between the two values is 0.383.

d) The 25th and 75 percentiles of fish size for the population using the normal distribution table is 5.69 and 5.87 respectively.

e) The probability that the average calculated will be less than the value is 0.3707.
