Shouldn't mini case question 2 be 65%, not 55%? Since it says, the chance of finding treasure on at LEAST one island? So both islands would be ok as well?
@vio_tio122 ай бұрын
the idea is when you just do P(A) + P(B) you are overcounting for the case where there is a treasure on both islands. So you should subtract that intersection value. This does not change the fact that both islands are okay, but you are treating the case of overcounting.
@vio_tio122 ай бұрын
Another way to look at it is do P(X>=1) = 1 - P(X=0) and calculate P(X=0) which is just the multiplication of (1-P(A)) and (1-P(B)). In this case you do 1 - (0.45) = 0.55

I think there was a mistake in case 4. I think it asks you to calculate the average growth seen in the last 4 periods, add 5 percentage points and use this number to calculate how much gold coins are expected for the current year. This would make necessary to use all the avg gold coins from the previous years and the 5 percentage points, right?

Actually not, for this you would require data points of "Y-5" and "Y-1" , to calculate CAGR ; then adding 5 p.p.

Hello, first I would like to thank you for your insightful explanation, I have one question regarding the second case question, the question is asking about the chances of finding treasure on at least one of the islands, why did we subtract the chance of having treasures on the same time😅

Hey! At 12.53 you calculate percentage of ships captured by both flags using the original attempt numbers. However, it says that the red flags are used only after the black flags, so shouldn't the chance of successful capture by red flag be out of the remaining ships 6/15*1.05 and not 6/24*1.05? and similar for the other ship as well.

At 12:53, why are not taking the denominator as 30 for Peasant Fortune since the total number of captures will also be increasing for the current year?
@aqibmaqsood17554 ай бұрын
No Since the chances of capture are increasing by 15% and 5% not the number of ships captured. So we need to calculate the new chance of capture of red and black flags. Previously the chance was 9/24 and 6/24. The new chance would be (9*1.15)/24 and (6*1.05)/24. We use this new chance to calculate the number of ships captured in the coming year. Again its the chances not the number of ships

@MConsultingPrep7 ай бұрын
The investigation states that the chance of black flag captures goes up by 15 percent -> multiply by 115% to get the new chance, but since the calculator does not support the % sign, I used 1.15 instead.

could you explain case 4? you only dragged the numbers to the journal 😅?
@MConsultingPrep7 ай бұрын
Yes, Case 4 only requires you to drag numbers to the journal (no calculation necessary). This is the explanation from the script: Now, to answer this particular question we just need to collect the number of ships captured for year Y-1. No need to collect the data for the remaining years. This is because: 1. The question asks for just the additional revenue from the tactical changes alone, not all of the expected growth. 2. This additional revenue is expressed as being “5 percentage points” added on top of the "expected growth without the tactical changes", so 5 percent of the revenue in Year Y-1, not 5 percent of the growth. Which means we just need that year’s revenue [and the 5 percentage points] to figure out how much these tactical changes are worth in thousand gold coins. Hope it clarifies things up for you!

@anshdutta41694 ай бұрын
@@smoothpghey, I was also confused regarding this. After spending some time on this question, I understood the phrasing of this question is aimed at deceiving the interviewee. If you were asked for the revenue growth, then yes, you'd have to find the average of the past 4 year's growth and proceed from there. Let's assume that to be 'X'. However, they've only asked about the coins from the tactical change and that has been denoted by percentage points and not percentage. Hence, the value would be (revenue in year Y-1) * 5/100. However if they would have asked for the total revenue in year Y, that would have been (revenue in year Y-1) * (5+X)/100. Hope this helps!

Why would the second one need parentheses to work? Why are there minus signs across the equation around 26 mins?
@MConsultingPrep7 ай бұрын
At Case 5: new port budget = 100 - (sum of all other new budgets) i.e.: P(new) = 100 - ( (S - 6) + (T + 7) + (W - 8) ) which looks like option B, but with parentheses wrapping around the "new budgets". If you "break" these parentheses you end up with option D. You can also double-check them by plugging in the numbers given by the directions. With Option B you end up with the new port budget being 133% of the whole budget, which does not make sense logically. With Option D you the new port budget allocation is 25% of the whole budget. Hope that clarifies things up!
