Data Analytics Short and Focused Answers

Data analytics involves analyzing data to find patterns and insights that help businesses make better decisions. It is a subset of data science, which more broadly involves extracting knowledge from data. Data science applies to fields like healthcare, finance, marketing, and technology where data can provide valuable insights. Feature engineering and exploratory data analysis (EDA) are important techniques in data science. Feature engineering transforms data to improve machine learning models, while EDA visually analyzes data to understand patterns and anomalies. Python is widely used for data science due to powerful tools like NumPy and Pandas for data manipulation, analysis, and visualization. NumPy facilitates efficient numerical operations on large arrays, which is essential for computations in data science.

Data Analytics Short and Focused Answers

PART - 1
a). What is Data Analytics ?
Ans- Data analytics is understanding and making sense of data. It helps
businesses by looking at information to find patterns and insights. It's
like using tools and methods to make better decisions and improve how
things work.

b). What is Data Science ? How it is related to Data Analytics ?


Ans- Data science involves the broader process of extracting insights
and knowledge from data, including data analytics. Data analytics is a
subset of data science, focusing specifically on analyzing and
interpreting data to inform decision-making.

c). List the different sectors of data science.


Ans- Data science spans various sectors, including healthcare, finance,
marketing, and technology. It applies to fields where data analysis can
uncover valuable insights and drive improvements in processes and
outcomes.

e). What are nominal and ordinal data ? Give example for each.
Ans- Nominal data categorizes without any order, like colors. Ordinal
data has a meaningful order but no consistent intervals, like education
levels (high school, college).

f). What do you mean by Feature engineering ?


Ans- Feature engineering is crafting input variables (features) for
machine learning models to enhance performance. It involves
transforming, selecting, or creating features to improve the model's
ability to understand patterns in the data.

g). What is Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) ?


Ans- EDA is the process of visually and statistically analyzing data sets
to understand their main characteristics, uncover patterns, and identify
anomalies. It helps in formulating hypotheses and guiding further
analysis.

i). Why should you learn python for data science ?


Ans- Python is widely used in data science due to its simplicity,
versatility, and extensive libraries like NumPy and Pandas. It provides
powerful tools for data manipulation, analysis, and visualization.

j). What is NumPy and its use in data science ?


Ans- NumPy is a Python library for numerical operations. It facilitates
efficient handling of large arrays and matrices, essential for
mathematical and statistical operations in data science, making
computations faster and more manageable.

PART - 2
a. Explain the data analytics process ?
Ans- The answer is pretty easy and precise in PDF. Refer to Page- 13.
c. List and explain different types of EDA.
Ans- PDF Page- 20.

e. Write a python code to import Numpy and print an array of numbers.


Ans- import numpy as np
