Introduction To Data Analysis

Data analysis is the process of inspecting, cleaning, transforming, and modeling data to discover useful information and make better decisions. It involves techniques and tools to extract insights from data. Data analysis enables evidence-based decisions and performance improvement by identifying areas for growth. Python is well-suited for data analysis due to its powerful libraries, open-source ecosystem, and integration capabilities. Key concepts in data analysis include measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode), data visualization techniques for storytelling and pattern recognition, and using insights for decision support.
