The average product (AP) is calculated by dividing the total output by the number of workers. The marginal product (MP) of the 5th worker is the additional output produced by the 5th worker. Without specific numbers from a table, we can't calculate exact values, but choice A suggests a typical scenario where the AP could be 3.6 (indicating that on average, each worker contributes 3.6 units of output) and the MP of the 5th worker is 2 (indicating that the addition of the 5th worker increased output by 2 units).
