The results of a swim meet between the Comets (C), Rams (R), Wildcats (W), and Tigers (T) are shown in the preference table below. Notice, for example, that in the sprint competition, the Comets (C) took both first and fourth place.

a) Assume that the finishing positions are scored 4, 3, 2, 1 for first, second, third, and fourth place, respectively. How do the teams rank from highest to lowest if the Borda count method is used?

b) Assume that the finishing positions are scored 5, 3, 1, 0 points for first, second, third, and fourth place, respectively. How do the teams rank from highest to lowest if we modify the Borda count method to use these values?
