Final answer:
Without specific data on individual students' performance, we assume Cole answered the least questions correctly, and John the most, with Kate and Marie's exact positions unknown but between Cole and John. Therefore, Cole comes first followed by Kate or Marie, and then John.
Step-by-step explanation:
To list students by name in order of who answered the least questions correctly to who answered the most questions correctly, we need to understand the distribution of correct answers. However, the question doesn't provide specific data about each student's performance, but rather aggregate percentages for groups of students. We do know from Solution 2.21 that seventy percent of students answered 16 or fewer questions correctly and thirty percent answered 16 or more questions correctly, and a higher percentile indicates a better performance. Since we need to make an assumption due to the lack of individual data, let's assume that Cole is in the seventy percent and John is in the thirty percent because a higher percentile is considered good. As for Kate and Marie, without more data, we cannot determine their exact order, so we have to consider their names to be interchangeable in the middle. With this assumption, the correct order would be Cole (least questions correctly), followed by Kate and Marie (interchangeable), and then John (most questions correctly).
