a) the coach of an age group swim team needs to assign swimmers to
a 200-yard medley relay team to send to the junior Olympics. Since
most of his best swimmers are very fast in more than one stroke, it
is not clear which swimmer should be assigned to each of the four
strokes. The five fastest swimmers and the best time (in seconds)
they have achieved in each of the stroke (for 50 yards) are:
