[shrusal]

Thank You very much! I found this video to be like a one stop shop for DS interview questions. Very well explained as well.

[rockingjoy]

Few pointers, for first problem it is actually a poisson distribution, so with a mean (0.20 x 4 = 0.8), so probability of not seeing any star is e^(-0.8), and the probability to the contrary is 1-e^(-0.8) ~ 0.55

[muhammadsyahirmohamadzaki]

Thanks! Very helpful for my upcoming interview.

[akaashhazarika]

Great resource, while preparing for my internship :)

[CromaCampusOfficial]

Thanks for sharing this video really helpful for new students in the data science field.

[prakirthgovardhanam]

Thank You very much Karthik and Edureka for providing this informative heads-up about the Interview ! Thanks a lot for the advises at the end as well!

[mohitkushwaha]

Video is quite helpful, could u plz share the pdf of the same

[rishabhsingh]

very informative, thanks a lot. subscribed your channel. is there any way to get this in pdf format?

[endft]

Great collection of questions and great answers.

[shiny_dev]

1:17:30...Question number 34. The answer 1/3 is wrong, the actual answer is 1/2 because the you have considered BG and GB as two different cases but this problem requires Combination not Permutation. We are only interested in knowing if they have one boy and a girl, we are not interested in knowing weather the first child is Boy and the second is a Girl and vice versa.

[savitathakare]

Very informative session.
Can I get pdf of this session

[seemarawat]

I follow your videos a lot so plz share a video of BASE SAS interview question and answers....

[nkechiesomonu]

Thanks a lot for your lectures. They are very clear

[vivasjimmy]

very well video, thanks to dedicate your time teaching us.

[shivah]

Can i get a PDF version for this . Thank you
