413 staff data scientist interview questions shared by candidates

Interview 1 - Rotate array in such a way that sum of index*value is max - In a connected graph, randomly clicked any button with prob p, then nearby switches state changes. What is the expected no of switches open. Interview 2 - Two fair dice with 4 faces, you win if blue > black , end if blue = black and return is max (blue-black, 0). What is the expected win amount, build some recursive solution with E = prob3*(amount + E) + prob2*(amount + E) + … . solve it via coding simulation as well. (n no of loops each can have infinite no of trials) - 2sum based, with d as the difference between the two, but avoid repetitions and count (a,b) , (b,a) as one. Interview 3 - Hotel cancellation SD, with immediate profit improvement , - [1,0,0,0,1,1,0] → no of continuous subsets 4, if by prob p. with which we can get 1, what is the expected no of subsets. Sum from 1 to n P(x)*x or use recursive formula E(n,p) = prob getting same in boundary * E(n-1,p) + prob getting diff in boundary * (E(n-1,p) + 1)
