Exploring Data Science Concepts

What is the primary need for data science?

• To store data efficiently.

• To create complex algorithms.

• To extract insights from data.

• To visualize data without analysis.

List three benefits of using data science.

• Simplified data entry processes

• Reduced data storage costs

• Decreased employee workload

• 1. Improved decision-making 2. Enhanced customer insights 3. Increased operational efficiency

What are the main facets of data?

• The main facets of data are volume, variety, velocity, veracity, and value.

• consistency, clarity, cost

• speed, simplicity, security

• accuracy, accessibility, anonymity

Describe the data science process in brief.

• The data science process includes defining the problem, collecting data, cleaning data, analyzing data, building models, validating models, communicating results, and deploying solutions.

• The process ends with data collection.

• Data science only involves programming skills.

• Collecting data is the only step in data science.

What is the first step in the data science process?

• Collect data from various sources

• Define the problem or question

• Analyze the data for insights

• Visualize the data findings

Why is data cleansing important?

• Data cleansing is only necessary for large datasets.

• Data cleansing is primarily for data storage optimization.

• Data cleansing has no impact on decision-making processes.

• Data cleansing is important for ensuring data quality and accuracy.

What does exploratory data analysis involve?

• Implementing machine learning algorithms

• Exploratory data analysis involves summarizing and visualizing data to understand its structure and patterns.

• Collecting data from various sources

• Performing complex statistical modeling

What are the key components of building a model?

• Model deployment

• Key components of building a model include problem definition, data collection, model selection, training, evaluation, and hyperparameter tuning.

• Data visualization

• Feature extraction

How do you present data findings effectively?

• Use complex jargon to confuse the audience.

• Use clear visuals, summarize key insights, and provide context.

• Present data without any visuals or summaries.

• Focus solely on the methodology used for data collection.

Define outliers in the context of frequency distributions.

• Outliers are the most frequent data points in a distribution.

• Outliers are data points that are exactly equal to the mean.

• Outliers are always the highest values in a dataset.

• Outliers are data points that deviate significantly from the rest of the data in a frequency distribution.
