How do interviewers test Biostatistics?

A typical question, from Bioinformatics Scientist interviews: "Describe the concept of 'eigenvalues' and 'eigenvectors' in the context of Principal Component Analysis (PCA)." What the interviewer listens for: A strong answer will explain that eigenvectors represent the principal components (new axes of the data) and eigenvalues represent the amount of variance explained by each principal component. They should link this to dimensionality reduction and identifying major sources of variation in data. A red flag is confusing the terms or not relating them to variance.
