 Many interviewers who ask statistics and probability only took one brief statistics course and---outside of some brainteasers they looked up---aren't aware of all the techniques and nuances, nor the differences in jargon.\footnote{This has been exacerbated by the redefinition of many statistical concepts within Machine Learning.}
-Fortunately I knew how to use the simpler method, but under pressure I was unable to perform the mental arithmetic fast enough.
