Intro

This is a data science study guide that you can use to help prepare yourself for your interview. This was developed by people who have interviewed and gotten jobs at Amazon| Facebook| Capital One and several other tech companies. We hope these help you get great jobs as well. In order to use this, you can make a copy of this sheet and follow along with the study guide. Keeping track helps you know where you are and how you are doing.

x Probability And Statistics
x A common question you might get at FAANG companies and other tech companies alike is the occasional probability or statistics question. The questions won’t necessarily require complex math. However]( if you haven’t thought about independent and dependent probabilities in while. It is good to review setting up the basic formulas.

x [Just because data science doesn't always require heavy programming]( it doesn't mean that interviewers won't ask you traverse a binary tree. So make sure you ask your interviewer what to expect. Don't be daunted by these questions. Pick a few to do just so you're not surprised in an interview.)
