Georgia Tech Research Institute Interview Questions

The schema below is for a retail online shopping company consisting of two tables, attribution and user_sessions.

• The attribution table logs a session visit for each row.

• If conversion is true, then the user converted to buying on that session.

• The channel column represents which advertising platform the user was attributed to for that specific session.
