At home coding: heap type problem and binary search On camera interview: DP problem Prob and stats: - On average how many toss to get 3 heads in a row? - Given 2 random numbers with a value between 0 and 1. What is the average value of the max of these 2 numbers - Given 999 fair coins and 1 double-headed coin in a bag, if I draw one coin and toss it 10 times and get 10 heads, what is the probability that I am holding the double-headed coin - Given a pair of number (x,y) equally distributed between (0,0), (0,1) and (1,1), what is the line that best fit these numbers (given x, target y)? - On average how many times will you get an even number of heads if you toss a few times an unfair coin (p=1/3 | q=2/3)? - Given a standard deck of 52 cards, if I draw the first card and you draw the second card, what is the probability that I have a greater card? - Given a bag of 3 blue and 3 red candies. You pick one candy at a time, if it is red you eat it, if it is blue you put it back in the bag. On average how many times will you pick a candy from the bag before all red are eaten - Quickly estimate the probability to get 55 heads or more after tossing a fair coin 100 times?
