You’re given a dataframe containing sales data from a grocery store chain with columns for customer ID, gender, and date of sale.

Create a new dataset with summary level information on their purchases including the columns:

<ul>
<li><code>customer_id</code></li>
<li><code>gender</code></li>
<li><code>most_recent_sale</code></li>
<li><code>order_count</code></li>
</ul>

<code>most_recent_sale</code> should display the date of the customer’s most recent purchase. <code>order_count</code> should display the total number of purchases that the customer has made.

Example:

Input:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>import pandas as pd

customers = {
&#34;customer_id&#34; : [5156, 2982, 1011, 3854, 2982],
&#34;gender&#34; : [&#34;m&#34;, &#34;f&#34;, &#34;m&#34;, &#34;f&#34;, &#34;f&#34;], 
&#34;date of sale&#34; : [&#34;2021-01-04&#34;, &#34;2021-02-15&#34;, &#34;2021-03-01&#34;, &#34;2021-03-21&#34;, &#34;2021-04-12&#34;]
}

customer_df = pd.DataFrame(customers)
</code></pre>

Output:

<table>

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

<ul>
<li>The attribution table logs a session visit for each row.</li>

<li>If <code>conversion</code> is <code>true</code>, then the user converted to buying on that session.</li>

<li>The <code>channel</code> column represents which advertising platform the user was attributed to for that specific session.</li>

<li>Lastly the <code>user_sessions</code> table maps many to one session visits back to one user.</li>
</ul>

First touch attribution is defined as the channel with which the converted user was associated when they first discovered the website.

A team wants to A/B test multiple different changes through a sign-up funnel.

For example, on a page, a button is currently red and at the top of the page. They want to see if changing a button from red to blue and/or from the top of the page to the bottom of the page will increase click-through.

Netflix has hired people to rate movies.

Out of all of the raters, 80% of the raters carefully rate movies and rate 60% of the movies as good and 40% as bad. The other 20% are lazy raters and rate 100% of the movies as good.

Assuming all raters rate the same amount of movies, what is the probability that a movie is rated good?

There are two categories of movie raters: careful and lazy. Careful raters make up 80% of the total. They rate 60% of the movies as good and 40% as bad. Lazy raters, constitute 20% of the raters and 100% of the movies as good. Given these parameters, calculate the overall probability of a movie being rated good.

Given an array and a target integer, write a function <code>sum_pair_indices</code> that returns the indices of two integers in the array that add up to the target integer. If not found, just return an empty list.

Note: Can you do it on \(O(n)\) time?

Note: Even though there could be many solutions, only one needs to be returned.

Example 1:

Input:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>array = [1 2 3 4] 
target = 5 
</code></pre>

Output:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>def sum_pair_indices(array, target) -&gt; [0 3] or [1 2]

Example 2:

Input:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>array = [3]
target = 6 
</code></pre>

Output:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>Do NOT return [0 0] as you can&#39;t use an index twice.
