Team A will win the game at the 7th match if and only if (1) it wins any 3 of the first 6 matches and (2) it wins the last match. Thus, [C(6,3)*p^3*(1-p)^3] * p = C(6,3)*p^4*(1-p)^3.

Hello Denver Health Bio Stat job applicant. Could you PLEASE post an answer: 1- While taking assessment test, were you asked "if you are over the age of 40" with a yes and no to select?

No, I don't think so. There were too many pre-arranged questions asked within 50 minutes timeframe.

The question is outright illegal. Now, how hard you want to be on the interviewer? Tell "I prefer not to answer"? Or "Wow, I can't believe you ask this illegal question"?

Wow. Legal only if you brought up kids first, I think? But the nerve of asking. No thanks.

Did you apply online recently? I was wondering the hiring was in freeze due to current situation.

This was back in October 2019.

I did not answer well.

There are two ways to answer this type of statistical question. Both are valid and should be presented. A.) Enough cars to get everyone around. B.) Begin with a sample population and model the relative rate of car ownership, then extrapolate across the population accounting for a specific confidence interval. A supervised continuous model would be ideal, such as linear regression. A question like this isn't designed for an answer, it's designed to assess critical thinking.

do you remember the role play or case questions??

Hi, I have an interview coming up with capital one. Could you please tell me about the case interview involving statistics?
