They asked a question about related rates. One of the questions was essentially a recursive algorithm question. One of the questions was a brain teaser about how to complete some task in the shortest number of steps. Overall, the interview felt random, considering that I have a doctorate and they ask me a random Cal 1 question to evaluate my capacity as a researcher.
I was asked 3 questions. The first one was on the concept of probability." You have been given 3 balls which are numbered as 1, 2 and 3 and they are placed inside a bag. You randomly select 3 balls, one ball at a time. Considering your selection, you win if at least one selection number matches with the number on the ball. So for example if you get ball with number 1 on your first draw you call this as win. So the question what are the chances of winning if you do this with replacement versus without replacement
probability
what is NMO and why do we use it.
Q1: A and B are flipping a coin. A flips first, and then B. What is the probability of A winning first? Q2: What is the volume of a cube inscribed in a sphere with radius 1? Q3: There are 25 horses, each of which runs at a constant speed that is different from the other horses. Since the track only has 5 lanes, each race can have at most 5 horses. If you need to find the 3 fastest horses, what is the minimum number of races needed to identify them?
Interview 1, Q3: A company wants to make 2880 teddy bears in a day, and they work 24 hours a day. There are three stations that the teddy bears go through. Station A takes 2 minutes per employee, station B takes 6 minutes per employee, and station C takes 4 minutes per employee. How many employees are needed at each station? If the teddy bears cost $20 to make and the employees are paid $15/hour, what price do they need to sell the teddy bears at to break even?
