Nicole                  
Kevin                  
Ivko                  

Using the answers above, make a statistical based case for why the coach should NOT enter Nicole into the race. 

Using the answers above, make a statistical based case for why the coach should NOT enter Ivko into the race.  (because he has less races is not an option)

Using the answers above, make a statistical based case for why the coach SHOULD enter Ivko into the race.  (because he has less races is not an option)
