Phhone interview focused entirely on probability and expected value. Fair coin toss variants, a betting game where you set the price and they decide whether to buy or sell, conditional probability with dependent events.

Questions Asked

1.“What's the probability of getting at least one 6 when rolling two fair dice?”
2.“Describe a time you found a non-obvious pattern in data that others had missed”
