a) 37th percentile: 33 years
b) 72nd percentile: 62 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The kth percentile divides the data into two: on the one hand the lowest k% of the data, and on the other the (1-k)% higher of the data.
For the list provided, the 37th percentile falls to the age of 33. This means that 37% of the data are for ages under 33 years.
The 72nd percentile falls at the age of 62 (72% of the ages fall below 62 years).
