Answer:

x=119119,\;\;\;y=119119

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the x be the first number, y be the second number and p be the product of the first and second number.

i.e  x+y=238238   \Rightarrow x=238238-y

      p=xy

   \Rightarrow p=(238238-y)y\\\Rightarrow p=238238y-y^2

\Rightarrow \frac{dp}{dy} =238238-2y\\\Rightarrow 0=238238-2y\\\Rightarrow 2y=238238\\\Rightarrow y=119119

Now,

x=238238-119119\\\\ \Rightarrow x=119119

Hence, x=119119,\;\;\;y=119119

A sample of 10 random students would almost certainly include more 100s then 0s, but both would be included in the sample. The mean of this samples score is closer to 75 than any individuals.
