A building contractor is preparing a bid on a new construction project. Two other contractors will be submitting bids for the same project. Based on past bidding practices, bids from the other contractors can be described by the following probability distributions:
Contractor | Probability Distribution of Bid |
A | Uniform probability distribution between $500,000 and $700,000 |
B | Normal probability distribution with a mean bid of $600,000 and a standard deviation of $40,000 |
If required, round your answers to three decimal places.
