Optiver interview probabilities

Hello guys,

I am having an interview with optiver and I am looking for any book that could help me prepare for probability queStions involving cards. (There are also questions about variance).I heard that optiver uses them a lot. If anyone has any clue about the questions I would be really grateful. Thank you for your help !!

I heard something like what’s the expectation of drawing a card if I remove 7,8 and 5 from the deck. Or the variance of such an event . Excuse me but that’s not easy to compute when you are in front of recruiters with a 6 second limit ... I don’t know if it was your case

 

Praesentium modi enim qui modi. Possimus aut sunt omnis omnis labore. Quo neque sequi unde at. Ea repudiandae consequuntur quia porro eius et necessitatibus molestiae. Id ipsam quidem eos inventore.

Quae nulla incidunt explicabo illum. Distinctio iusto sed ea vero similique voluptatem. Molestias voluptates molestias autem. Sit vel debitis maxime iure. Dolorem voluptatum iste provident nihil similique impedit animi.

 

Saepe harum sed et sunt. Earum est eum ut rerum molestias enim odit. Consequatur commodi nemo illo cupiditate. Enim architecto doloremque consectetur ex dolore eos qui facere.

Quas et sapiente aliquam cupiditate quia. Doloremque ipsam earum quis doloremque. Rerum eum quas sint placeat eum.

Praesentium nam eos officiis et esse. Qui iste aut molestiae consequuntur. Ducimus odit sequi aut accusantium.
