A Statistical Programming Intern was asked 10mo ago
Q. What is a p-value? Explain it in layman's terms and provide an example.
Ans. 

P-value is a measure that helps determine the strength of evidence against the null hypothesis in statistical hypothesis testing.

  • P-value is the probability of obtaining results as extreme as the observed results, assuming the null hypothesis is true.

  • A low p-value (typically ≤ 0.05) indicates strong evidence against the null hypothesis, leading to its rejection.

  • For example, if a study comparing two drugs shows a p-...

Interview Preparation Tips

Topics to prepare for Eli Lilly and Company interview:
  • Inferential Statistics
  • Descriptive Statistics
Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I wasn't really from pure statistics background, and my resume didn't really portray statistics. So not much question was asked for my project or resume.
However, for my peers from statistics background, a lot of questions revolved around that. Also, the interview goes deeper into statistics, the fundamentals and interpretations of small small things. Need to be thorough with descriptive as well as inferential statistic concepts.

Why are women still asked such personal questions in interview?
I recently went for an interview… and honestly, m still trying to process what just happened. Instead of being asked about my skills, experience, or how I could add value to the company… the questions took a totally unexpected turn. The interviewer started asking things like When are you getting married? Are you engaged? And m sure, if I had said I was married, the next question would’ve been How long have you been married? What does my personal life have to do with the job m applying for? This is where I felt the gender discrimination hit hard. These types of questions are so casually thrown at women during interviews but are they ever asked to men? No one asks male candidates if they’re planning a wedding or how old their kids are. So why is it okay to ask women? Can we please stop normalising this kind of behaviour in interviews? Our careers shouldn’t be judged by our relationship status. Period.
