Data Analyst Mock Interview Questions with Answers ππ―
1οΈβ£ Q: Explain the difference between a primary key and a foreign key.
A:
β’ Primary Key: Uniquely identifies each record in a table; cannot be null.
β’ Foreign Key: A field in one table that refers to the primary key of another table; establishes a relationship between the tables.
2οΈβ£ Q: What is the difference between WHERE and HAVING clauses in SQL?
A:
β’ WHERE: Filters rows before grouping.
β’ HAVING: Filters groups after aggregation (used with GROUP BY).
3οΈβ£ Q: How do you handle missing values in a dataset?
A: Common techniques include:
β’ Imputation: Replacing missing values with mean, median, mode, or a constant.
β’ Removal: Removing rows or columns with too many missing values.
β’ Using algorithms that handle missing data: Some machine learning algorithms can handle missing values natively.
4οΈβ£ Q: What is the difference between a line chart and a bar chart, and when would you use each?
A:
β’ Line Chart: Shows trends over time or continuous values.
β’ Bar Chart: Compares discrete categories or values.
β’ Use a line chart to show sales trends over months; use a bar chart to compare sales across different product categories.
5οΈβ£ Q: Explain what a p-value is and its significance.
A: The p-value is the probability of obtaining results as extreme as, or more extreme than, the observed results, assuming the null hypothesis is true. A small p-value (typically β€ 0.05) indicates strong evidence against the null hypothesis.
6οΈβ£ Q: How would you deal with outliers in a dataset?
A:
β’ Identify Outliers: Using box plots, scatter plots, or statistical methods (e.g., Z-score).
β’ Treatment:
β’ Remove Outliers: If they are due to errors or anomalies.
β’ Transform Data: Using techniques like log transformation.
β’ Keep Outliers: If they represent genuine data points and provide valuable insights.
7οΈβ£ Q: What are the different types of joins in SQL?
A:
β’ INNER JOIN: Returns rows only when there is a match in both tables.
β’ LEFT JOIN (or LEFT OUTER JOIN): Returns all rows from the left table, and the matching rows from the right table. If there is no match, the right side will contain NULL values.
β’ RIGHT JOIN (or RIGHT OUTER JOIN): Returns all rows from the right table, and the matching rows from the left table. If there is no match, the left side will contain NULL values.
β’ FULL OUTER JOIN: Returns all rows from both tables, filling in NULLs when there is no match.
8οΈβ£ Q: How would you approach a data analysis project from start to finish?
A:
β’ Define the Problem: Understand the business question you're trying to answer.
β’ Collect Data: Gather relevant data from various sources.
β’ Clean and Preprocess Data: Handle missing values, outliers, and inconsistencies.
β’ Explore and Analyze Data: Use statistical methods and visualizations to identify patterns.
β’ Draw Conclusions and Make Recommendations: Summarize your findings and provide actionable insights.
β’ Communicate Results: Present your analysis to stakeholders.

β’ Removal: Removing rows or columns with too many missing values.
β’ Using algorithms that handle missing data: Some machine learning algorithms can handle missing values natively.
4οΈβ£ Q: What is the difference between a line chart and a bar chart, and when would you use each?
A:
β’ Line Chart: Shows trends over time or continuous values.
β’ Bar Chart: Compares discrete categories or values.
β’ Use a line chart to show sales trends over months; use a bar chart to compare sales across different product categories.
5οΈβ£ Q: Explain what a p-value is and its significance.
A: The p-value is the probability of obtaining results as extreme as, or more extreme than, the observed results, assuming the null hypothesis is true. A small p-value (typically β€ 0.05) indicates strong evidence against the null hypothesis.
6οΈβ£ Q: How would you deal with outliers in a dataset?
A:
β’ Identify Outliers: Using box plots, scatter plots, or statistical methods (e.g., Z-score).
β’ Treatment:
β’ Remove Outliers: If they are due to errors or anomalies.
β’ Transform Data: Using techniques like log transformation.
β’ Keep Outliers: If they represent genuine data points and provide valuable insights.
7οΈβ£ Q: What are the different types of joins in SQL?
A:
β’ INNER JOIN: Returns rows only when there is a match in both tables.
β’ LEFT JOIN (or LEFT OUTER JOIN): Returns all rows from the left table, and the matching rows from the right table. If there is no match, the right side will contain NULL values.
β’ RIGHT JOIN (or RIGHT OUTER JOIN): Returns all rows from the right table, and the matching rows from the left table. If there is no match, the left side will contain NULL values.
β’ FULL OUTER JOIN: Returns all rows from both tables, filling in NULLs when there is no match.
8οΈβ£ Q: How would you approach a data analysis project from start to finish?
A:
β’ Define the Problem: Understand the business question you're trying to answer.
β’ Collect Data: Gather relevant data from various sources.
β’ Clean and Preprocess Data: Handle missing values, outliers, and inconsistencies.
β’ Explore and Analyze Data: Use statistical methods and visualizations to identify patterns.
β’ Draw Conclusions and Make Recommendations: Summarize your findings and provide actionable insights.
β’ Communicate Results: Present your analysis to stakeholders.

SQL Constraints ππ‘οΈ
Constraints are the rules that keep your database clean & accurate.
πΉ 1. PRIMARY KEY
β€ Uniquely identifies each row in a table
β€ Cannot be NULL or duplicated
β€ Links to a primary key in another table
β€ Ensures data consistency across tables
β€ Ensures all values in a column are different
β€ Column cannot have NULL (empty) values
β€ Limits the values that can be entered
β€ Automatically sets a default value
βοΈ No duplicates
βοΈ No missing data
βοΈ Valid and consistent values
βοΈ Reliable database performance
