Use the following information to answer questions 4-7.

State College plans to launch a new physical fitness program. All 3,227 incoming freshmen who are able will be required to run 1,500 meters at the start of the term. The elapsed times will be recorded by the track coaching staff and published in the school newspaper. The times will be ranked from the fastest to the slowest, and the students' names and ID numbers will appear next to the times. At the end of the term, all participants will again run the same event, and the coaching staff will count the students whose elapsed time decreased. Students will receive one bonus point in their physical education class for every second of improvement and another for every second their combined times are faster than the class average.
