For the interview where I had to record myself speaking, I received the question with the 3 traders that earn money based on the uniform distribution. For the real interview, I was asked the following: You have 6 different weights: 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106 kg. If you place the weights at random, 3 on each side of a scale, what's the probability that the 106 kg one will be on the lighter scale?
