QT/QR relevance: Both; reducing complex counts to simple event probabilities

Lesson 7.2 · Core

Tail-sum expectation

Depth: Interview mastery

QT/QR relevance: Both; waiting times and maxima

Lesson 7.3 · Core

Recursive waiting times and pattern states

Depth: Interview mastery

QT/QR relevance: Both; sequential problems

Lesson 7.4 · Core

Coupon collection, records and symmetry

Depth: Interview mastery

QT/QR relevance: Both; discovery and sampling problems

Lesson 7.5 · Core

Simple decisions under uncertainty
