The judging day of the contest arrives and 20 companies have joined. The strength of the concrete cylinders will be tested using a certain machine and it has been decided that company A will be tested last. The 2 highest scores so far are 100 and 70 kips.
1) Determine the probability that company A will be the second place winner.
2) Imagine that company A's cylinder is tested, and it has not shown any sign of distress at a load of 90 kips. Determine the probability that company A will win first place.
3) Company A sent a similar cylinder to another contest. Company B also joined that other contest and their cylinder's strength is expected to be 1% higher than Company A, however their coefficient of variation is 50% higher. Who is more likely to win in this contest? Show solution
