Good morning user,
For your interview today, you will be required to solve a familiar programming and statistics puzzle.
Given a bag of N pairs of programming socks, what's the probability that after M tries, each time removing one sock from the bag, you will have at least one pair of socks?
You have 15 minutes, please start!
well after the 2nd sock I'll have a pair and then no matter how many more socks I pull I'll still have that first pair, giving me "at least one pair"
does that make sense?
I think user meant a left and right sock as a pair
just continue to pick out socks because you cant have enough
It's a relatively complex formula to write here, with no latex formatting
It's an imageboard, you can just upload a picture of your formula.
p = 41%
You will never be a woman.
>a left and right sock
wut
1 minus the product of 1 minus M over 2N-M+1 from 1 to M
when you do products over a range you generally need a variable, e.g. n! is the product of i from i = 1 to n, where is the variable here?
