Let’s say the person chooses those numbers randomly and in the same way they are drawn (e.g. no replacement so number 1 can only be chosen once for the white balls). The black ball is there just to get the exact probability estimate for the

That means that if those numbers are drawn randomly from the containers, I’m asking what is the probability that a person guesses those numbers right BEFORE they are drawn as happens in the lottery?

Let’s say W stands for white ball and B for black ball. Let’s say we draw and order the white balls from least to greatest. It will look like this: W1 W2 W3 W4 W5 B1 I’m asking what is the probability I get the two lowest white balls W1 and

Thanks super helpful. Had a couple of followups: (1) Which boot camp did you attend if you don't mind me asking and in what city? (2) How you find the job interview process? (3) What kind of work are you doing now? (4) Do you feel that

Thanks for the responses guys. A few more points of clarification. PM means product manager. Top 3 tech think Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple. In terms of my motivation I think today we are where the internet was in 1994-95, at the cusp of
