About the test

The Python Data Science online test assesses knowledge of using Python and data science libraries such as Pandas, NumPy, Scipy, and Scikit-learn to analyze data through a series of live coding questions. This test requires applying probability and statistics to solve data science problems.

The assessment includes work-sample tasks such as:

  • Classification of data using different algorithms.
  • Aggregating, grouping, sorting, and cleaning data.
  • Building machine learning models.

A good data scientist or data analyst using Python for their tasks should be able to take advantage of the functionality provided by Python data science libraries to extract and analyze knowledge and insights from data.

You are given a list of tickers and their daily closing prices for a given period.

Implement the most_corr function that, when given each ticker's daily closing prices, returns the pair of tickers that are the most highly (linearly) correlated by daily percentage change.

A company stores login data and passwords in two different containers:

  • DataFrame with columns: Id, Login, Verified.
  • Two-dimensional NumPy array where each element is an array that contains: Id and Password.

Elements on the same row/index have the same Id.

Implement the function login_table that accepts these two containers and modifies id_name_verified DataFrame in-place, so that:

  • The Verified column should be removed.
  • The password from NumPy array should be added as the last column with the name "Password" to DataFrame.

For example, the following code snippet:

id_name_verified = pd.DataFrame([[1, "JohnDoe", True], [2, "AnnFranklin", False]], columns=["Id", "Login", "Verified"])
id_password = np.array([[1, 987340123], [2, 187031122]], np.int32)
login_table(id_name_verified, id_password)
print(id_name_verified)

Should print:

   Id        Login   Password
0   1      JohnDoe  987340123
1   2  AnnFranklin  187031122
