I would but the point of the onsite interview if to see if you can think on your feet and problem solve. If you already know everything they are going ask you, they don't get to see these things. I can tell you more about it though. 1 interviewer pushed me until i didn't know how to solve a problem and then watched to see how I worked though it or if I shut down. I was asked many basic statistic questions along with pattern recognition. They also asked estimation questions to see my thought process. I was not asked many behavioral questions though. The final type was standard RM questions like EMSR, Demand Forecasting, buying patterns of different types of customers etc........ Less

You have 100 quarters, 10 heads, 90 tails up in a dark room where you can't see the quarters. How do you divide them into 2 piles where you have an even amount of heads in each pile?
5 Answers↳
Take the 90 quarters that are tails and split them into two piles, 45 in each. Then take 5 heads and place into each stack, and you'll have an equal amount of heads in each stack. Less
↳
It is simple you only have 10 heads in front of you because 90 tails are in a darker room which you can't see. So make a pile of 5-5 of heads. Less
↳
randomly split the 100 quarters into two equal piles, 50 quarters per pile. Because of probability, that'll get you fairly close to an even amount of heads in each pile Less

You are in a garage sale, you're selling your TV for 100 and your neighbor is selling the exact same TV for 50, what should you do?
4 Answers↳
In response to your eg with AA flight vs Jet Blue, you need to ask yourself, are you profitable selling a ticket at $50? If not you can't just drop your price to compete and a loss. The garage sale scenario was strictly 2 tv's in the neighborhood. If one is sold and your tv is the only tv left, there's no competition, also you can still justify your price with other incentives, maybe free delivery. I was given this answer in class from a professor who was once in the airlines. I hope this helps. Less
↳
Drop price to $50. Its a Nash equilibrium.
↳
don't get in a price war, keep price high there's only 2 tv's for sale. Probably offer free delivery Less
