Definition of Data Analysis
Data analysis is a process of examining,
cleaning, transforming, and modelling
data to discover useful information, draw
conclusions, and support decision-
making.

With the increasing amount of data being

generated every day, data analytics has
become essential for organizations to stay
competitive

Choosing between R and Python depends on your specific needs. If

your focus is primarily on statistical analysis and visualization, R might
be a better choice. For more general-purpose programming and
versatility, Python is often preferred. Many data scientists and
analysts even use a combination of both languages based on the
requirements of their tasks.

Descriptive Statistics:
Definition: Descriptive statistics involve the use of
numerical and graphical techniques to summarize and
describe the main features of a dataset.

Purpose: Descriptive statistics provide a concise summary

of the essential characteristics of a dataset, helping to
simplify large amounts of data into understandable
patterns. Common measures in descriptive statistics
include measures of central tendency (mean, median,
mode) and measures of variability (range, variance,
standard deviation).

Example: If you have a dataset of exam scores for a class,

descriptive statistics would help you summarize the
average score, the spread of scores, and the most common
score.
