User Behavior and Analytics Questions

Covers the ability to collect, analyze, and interpret user interaction data using analytics platforms and quantitative techniques. Candidates should demonstrate working knowledge of common analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Mixpanel, and Amplitude to navigate dashboards, create custom reports, define and instrument events, build funnels, and extract cohort and retention data. Core skills include segmentation by activity, demographics, or lifecycle stage, cohort analysis, funnel breakdowns by segment, retention curve interpretation, session and task level metrics, conversion rate analysis, and identifying behavioral patterns. Candidates should be able to pose testable hypotheses about user behavior, validate them using analytics data, surface data quality and instrumentation issues, support split testing, and translate findings into actionable product or design recommendations and prioritized next steps.

Implement (or outline code) in Python to compute bootstrapped 95% confidence intervals for cohort retention curves (daily retention up to day 30), given user-first-day and activity-day data. Describe how you would parallelize this computation for many cohorts.

Describe practical checks and SQL queries you would run to detect duplicated events, missing timestamps, and gaps between client and server event volumes. Explain how you'd trace an instrumentation issue from the analytics warehouse back to client code and deployment.

Describe how you'd instrument and analyze task-level metrics for a complex multi-step workflow (e.g., multi-stage form submission). What metrics would you capture at step-level, how would you attribute completion to steps, and how would you identify the steps with the highest drop-off?

Describe how to compute incremental lifetime value (iLTV) for a cohort using observed per-period revenues and survival probabilities. Provide the mathematical formulation including discounting and censoring adjustments, and explain how to estimate iLTV from truncated data.
MediumTechnical
79 practiced
You ran an A/B test where variant B shows a new onboarding flow. Given two arrays of binary conversion outcomes (control and variant) in Python, implement a bootstrap procedure to estimate the 95% confidence interval of the difference in conversion rates and a p-value. Outline assumptions and computational considerations.
