14,854 data researcher interview questions shared by candidates

1. code the n term of Fibonacci, using iteration, then use recursion only, then use recursion and memorization. What is the time complexity and space complexity for all three cases. 2. Linear regression of X and y, X is n-dimensional and y is 1-dimensional, how would beta, standard error of beta, r2, and t-stat of beta change if you duplicate the data. Can you explain the results intuitively? 3 London has p probability of rain. You have 3 friends, they have 2/3 probability of telling truth, and 1/3 probability lying. Suppose all friends tell you rain, what is the probability it rains? 4. Leetcode

There is a unit cube with internal mirror faces. A ray is emitted into the cube from one vertex, reflects off four faces (without touching vertices or edges), and stops at the opposite vertex from which it started. What is the minimum possible distance the ray travels? The answer should be decimal format approximated to 4 digits of precision, i.e. format a.bcd as in 1.234.
