Compute each student's average position (1 = slowest, 4 = fastest):
- Student 1: positions 1,4,2,3,4 → sum 14 → avg 2.8
- Student 2: positions 2,3,3,2,1 → sum 11 → avg 2.2
- Student 3: positions 3,2,1,4,3 → sum 13 → avg 2.6
- Student 4: positions 4,1,4,1,2 → sum 12 → avg 2.4
Smaller average = closer to “slowest.” So from slowest to fastest: 2, 4, 3, 1.
- Student 1: positions 1,4,2,3,4 → sum 14 → avg 2.8
- Student 2: positions 2,3,3,2,1 → sum 11 → avg 2.2

- Student 4: positions 4,1,4,1,2 → sum 12 → avg 2.4
