Questions I was asked: (I have a maths background.)

1. Suppose six students have come for this GD/PI. Two for ABC college and two from XYZ college. If four students are to be picked, what is the probability that there will be no students from ABC college among those four?

2. What among the various parameters - median, mode, mean etc - is most important in risk assessment?

3. Diff between Poisson distribution and Normal distribution.

4. Define Poisson distribution.

5. Give an example of a business situation where you would use Poisson distribution.
