Hi.
A curious case regarding interview at Amazon.
There is a particular opening to which I did not apply.
Got an email saying they want to interview me, with slot options.
I selected slot options and then I got an email for an interview with one of their employees.
Email is from hire_the_best@email.amazon.com
Have tried reaching out to the mentioned employee as well on LinkedIn to check if it is genuine - but haven't received any response.
Have observed this to be a fake incidence in the past.
What say?

I'm not sure I understand this question
I would just tell them that it's calculating the likelihood of a certain event given the parameters set by other events. Cause1 + Cause2 = Effect1 OR Effect2, then you determine whether the Effect1 or Effect2 is more likely to occur than its counterpart; just because there are two options in this model does not mean you can infer 50/50 distribution of the outcome. Or maybe something less nerdy, who knows... ;)
That really depends on if they are looking for a long or short answer. I'd go with the short summation first, "predicting the ratio of cause(s) to a specific outcome," because they are probably really asking "can you explain this without sounding pretentious" because they wouldn't want to work with someone who thinks they're hot stuff because they can speak fluent geek
