Statistician Interview Questions

"When you interview for a position as a statistician, you can expect to be asked about your knowledge of statistics, analytical and critical thinking skills, and your ability to draw conclusions from gathered data. Prepare to answer situational questions that may require you to analyze a set of data and explain its meaning or design an experiment to gather important statistical data. Your employer will want to make sure you can use your theoretical knowledge of statistics to solve hands-on, real world problems."

1,160 statistician interview questions shared by candidates

Nothing I received was actually unexpected. The general statistical applications (say multiple independents and one dependent variable) were basic questions anyone should be checked for. One question was a creative one, which asked how I would with a single camera mounted to a car (no laser/sound/etc) program a car to maintain its distance from the car in front of it. I was asked by finance to make some inferences from a plot of data on a blackboard, but I had to ask the interviewer about some definitions of the data (which anyone in their right mind should). The question regarded whether one from the plot could make a sound conclusion about a visible pattern in the scatterplot. If so, what did it mean (here they're testing the ability to translate the technical information into lay meaning).
