First graph the related points, shown in the picture, the part I am confused in doing is how to find the marginal product of each of the first four workers and what the marginal product of each of the second workers.I thought the first set would be 7 and the second set would be 5 but then I noticed I need to do it based on the graph.How would I get both questions via the graph?

A company produces children's toys. The manager noticed the connection between the number of employed workers and the quantity of toys produced per month, which are presented in the table of following: a) In what period is this firm operating? Why? b) What is the average product when 5 workers are employed? c) What is the marginal product when 7 workers are employed? What does this value mean? d) Does the law of declining marginal income apply? If yes to which worker? e) In this production function do we have total declining revenues? If so, which worker happens? f) Graph the curves of total product (TP), marginal product (MP) and product average (AP).
