Data Analytics Interview Questions with Answers Part-1: 📱

1. What is the difference between data analysis and data analytics?
⦁ Data analysis involves inspecting, cleaning, and modeling data to discover useful information and patterns for decision-making.
⦁ Data analytics is a broader process that includes data collection, transformation, analysis, and interpretation, often involving predictive and prescriptive techniques to drive business strategies.

2. Explain the data cleaning process you follow.
⦁ Identify missing, inconsistent, or corrupt data.
⦁ Handle missing data by imputation (mean, median, mode) or removal if appropriate.
⦁ Standardize formats (dates, strings).
⦁ Remove duplicates.
⦁ Detect and treat outliers.
⦁ Validate cleaned data against known business rules.

3. How do you handle missing or duplicate data?
⦁ Missing data: Identify patterns; if random, impute using statistical methods or predictive modeling; else consider domain knowledge before removal.
⦁ Duplicate data: Detect with key fields; remove exact duplicates or merge fuzzy duplicates based on context.

4. What is a primary key in a database? 
A primary key uniquely identifies each record in a table, ensuring entity integrity and enabling relationships between tables via foreign keys.

5. Write a SQL query to find the second highest salary in a table.

SELECT MAX(salary) 
FROM employees 
WHERE salary < (SELECT MAX(salary) FROM employees);

6. Explain INNER JOIN vs LEFT JOIN with examples.
⦁ INNER JOIN: Returns only matching rows between two tables.
⦁ LEFT JOIN: Returns all rows from the left table, plus matching rows from the right; if no match, right columns are NULL.

Example:

SELECT * FROM A INNER JOIN B ON A.id = B.id;
SELECT * FROM A LEFT JOIN B ON A.id = B.id;

7. What are outliers? How do you detect and treat them?
⦁ Outliers are data points significantly different from others that can skew analysis.
⦁ Detect with boxplots, z-score (>3), or IQR method (values outside 1.5*IQR).
⦁ Treat by investigating causes, correcting errors, transforming data, or removing if they’re noise.

8. Describe what a pivot table is and how you use it. 
A pivot table is a data summarization tool that groups, aggregates (sum, average), and displays data cross-categorically. Used in Excel and BI tools for quick insights and reporting.

9. How do you validate a data model’s performance?
⦁ Use relevant metrics (accuracy, precision, recall for classification; RMSE, MAE for regression).
⦁ Perform cross-validation to check generalizability.
⦁ Test on holdout or unseen data sets.

10. What is hypothesis testing? Explain t-test and z-test.
⦁ Hypothesis testing assesses if sample data supports a claim about a population.
⦁ t-test: Used when sample size is small and population variance is unknown, often comparing means.
⦁ z-test: Used for large samples with known variance to test population parameters.

1. What is the difference between the RANK() and DENSE_RANK() functions?

The RANK() function in the result set defines the rank of each row within your ordered partition. If both rows have the same rank, the next number in the ranking will be the previous rank plus a number of duplicates. If we have three records at rank 4, for example, the next level indicated is 7. The DENSE_RANK() function assigns a distinct rank to each row within a partition based on the provided column value, with no gaps. If we have three records at rank 4, for example, the next level indicated is 5.

2. Explain One-hot encoding and Label Encoding. How do they affect the dimensionality of the given dataset?

One-hot encoding is the representation of categorical variables as binary vectors. Label Encoding is converting labels/words into numeric form. Using one-hot encoding increases the dimensionality of the data set. Label encoding doesn’t affect the dimensionality of the data set. One-hot encoding creates a new variable for each level in the variable whereas, in Label encoding, the levels of a variable get encoded as 1 and 0.

3. What is the shortcut to add a filter to a table in EXCEL?

The filter mechanism is used when you want to display only specific data from the entire dataset. By doing so, there is no change being made to the data. The shortcut to add a filter to a table is Ctrl+Shift+L.

4. What is DAX in Power BI?

DAX stands for Data Analysis Expressions. It's a collection of functions, operators, and constants used in formulas to calculate and return values. In other words, it helps you create new info from data you already have.

5. Define shelves and sets in Tableau?

Shelves: Every worksheet in Tableau will have shelves such as columns, rows, marks, filters, pages, and more. By placing filters on shelves we can build our own visualization structure. We can control the marks by including or excluding data.
Sets: The sets are used to compute a condition on which the dataset will be prepared. Data will be grouped together based on a condition. Fields which is responsible for grouping are known assets. For example – students having grades of more than 70%.

•  Examples: Power BI, Tableau, Qlik Sense.

C - Cleaning Data:
•  The process of identifying and correcting errors, inconsistencies, and inaccuracies in a dataset.
•  Techniques: Handling missing values, removing duplicates, correcting typos, standardizing formats.

D - Data Visualization:
•  Graphical representation of data using charts, graphs, maps, and other visual elements.
•  Goal: Communicate insights effectively and make data easier to understand.

E - ETL (Extract, Transform, Load):
•  The process of extracting data from various sources, transforming it into a consistent format, and loading it into a data warehouse or other storage system.

F - Formulas (Excel):
•  Essential for performing calculations and data manipulation in Excel.

  •  Scikit-learn: Machine learning.

M - Machine Learning (ML):
•  A type of artificial intelligence that enables computers to learn from data without being explicitly programmed.
•  Used for tasks like prediction, classification, and clustering.

N - Normalization:
•  A data preprocessing technique used to scale numerical data to a common range, improving the performance of machine learning algorithms.

O - Outliers:
•  Data points that are significantly different from other values in a dataset.
•  Can be caused by errors, anomalies, or natural variations.

P - Pivot Tables (Excel):
•  A powerful tool in Excel for summarizing and analyzing large datasets.
•  Allows you to quickly group, filter, and aggregate data.

Q - Queries (SQL):
•  Requests for data from a database.
•  Used to retrieve, insert, update, and delete data.
