Alice and Bob have the exact same amount of Reputation (241 points). But Alice has a higher Signal (4.12 > 1.35), which indicates having a better track record of submitting valid reports. Alice also has a higher Impact (15.83 > 9.50) and therefore, a higher chance of submitting an important report.
