Big Data Analyst Questionnaire
Within this document are four different questions. Each
question is structured in the following manner:
1) Premise
- Contains any needed background information
2) Request
- The actual question, what you are to solve
3) Notes
- A space if you feel like including notes of any kind for the
given question
Please place your answer for each question in a separate file,
following this naming convention:
Name_Qn.docx, where n = the question number (i.e., 1, 2 ...).
So the file for the first question should be named
‘Name_Q1.docx’.
When complete, please package everything together and send
email responses to the designated POCs.
