Four students, Peggy, Quincy, Radley and Sarah, are grouped together to complete a project. The project is in four parts, labelled \(W, X, Y\) and \(Z\). Each student must complete one part of the project.
The table below shows each student's estimate of the score they will receive if they complete each section.
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline \rule{0pt}{2.5ex}\quad \quad \rule[-1ex]{0pt}{0pt}& \text{Peggy}& \text{Quincy}&\text{Radley}&\text{Sarah} \\
\hline \rule{0pt}{2.5ex}W \rule[-1ex]{0pt}{0pt}& 12 & 19 & 18 & 16 \\
\hline \rule{0pt}{2.5ex}X \rule[-1ex]{0pt}{0pt}& 16 & 15 & 15 & 16 \\
\hline \rule{0pt}{2.5ex}Y \rule[-1ex]{0pt}{0pt}& 10 & 16 & 17 & 15 \\
\hline \rule{0pt}{2.5ex}Z \rule[-1ex]{0pt}{0pt}& 19 & 20 & 18 & 18 \\
\hline
\end{array}
Based on the estimates, which allocation of project parts will maximise the students' group score on the project?
