Seismic Interview Questions

226 seismic interview questions shared by candidates

Q1: A and B are flipping a coin. A flips first, and then B. What is the probability of A winning first? Q2: What is the volume of a cube inscribed in a sphere with radius 1? Q3: There are 25 horses, each of which runs at a constant speed that is different from the other horses. Since the track only has 5 lanes, each race can have at most 5 horses. If you need to find the 3 fastest horses, what is the minimum number of races needed to identify them?

Standard questions for any seismic data processing role. - Describe the seismic data analysis process - What would you do at each stage? Why? - What are the key parameters for each method such as deconvolution, SRME, Radon, Migration, coherency analysis etc. - Describe in detail the SRME testing process.

1) Unfair coin with probability of getting head less than 1/2, if we flip this coin 6 times the probability of getting 3 heads and 3 tails is 4/25. what is the probability of getting head for this coin. 2) Arithmetic serie: a,9,3a-b,3a+b .. find F(2020) . They key is that an arithmetic serie is defined by the difference between 2 consecutive terms is the same ( I didn't know/remembered, the interviewer reminded me of that)
