Data Visualization and R Programming Viva Questions and Answers

1. What is data visualization?

Data visualization is the graphical representation of information and data using visual elements such

as charts, graphs, and maps to identify trends and patterns.

2. Why is data visualization important?

It helps in understanding complex data, identifying trends, communicating insights, and making

data-driven decisions effectively.

3. Name some common data visualization tools.

Popular tools include Tableau, Power BI, Matplotlib, ggplot2 in R, and Seaborn.

4. What is R programming?

R is a programming language and software environment used for statistical computing, data

analysis, and graphical representation.

5. What are the key features of R?

R offers statistical techniques, data visualization libraries, compatibility with other languages, and a

large community for support.

6. Explain the ggplot2 package in R.

ggplot2 is a data visualization package in R that allows users to create layered and aesthetically

pleasing plots based on the Grammar of Graphics.

7. What is the difference between bar chart and histogram?

A bar chart represents categorical data, while a histogram represents the frequency distribution of

continuous data.

8. How can you import data into R?


Data can be imported into R using functions like read.csv(), read.table(), or from other databases

using libraries like DBI and RMySQL.

9. What is the use of the plot() function in R?

The plot() function is used to create a variety of plots such as scatter plots, line graphs, and more.

10. What is the role of aesthetics in data visualization?

Aesthetics define the visual properties of the plot, such as color, size, and shape, to make the data

visually appealing and understandable.

11. What is a scatter plot and when is it used?

A scatter plot is used to visualize the relationship between two continuous variables by plotting data

points on an X-Y axis.

12. How do you handle missing data in R?

Missing data can be handled by functions like na.omit(), or by imputing values using mean, median,

or other techniques.

13. What are the limitations of data visualization?

Limitations include misrepresentation of data, overcomplicated visuals, and reliance on subjective

interpretation.

14. What is the use of the dplyr package in R?

The dplyr package is used for data manipulation tasks like filtering, selecting, arranging, and

summarizing data.

15. How do you create a boxplot in R?

A boxplot can be created using the boxplot() function, which shows the distribution of data through

their quartiles.

16. What is faceting in ggplot2?


Faceting is a technique in ggplot2 that allows you to create multiple plots based on a factor variable,

enabling comparisons across subsets.

17. How do you save a plot in R?

Plots can be saved using functions like ggsave() for ggplot2 objects or dev.copy() and dev.off() for

base R graphics.

18. What is the difference between R and Python for data visualization?

R is known for its specialized packages like ggplot2 and lattice, while Python offers flexibility with

libraries like Matplotlib, Seaborn, and Plotly.

19. How do you add labels and titles to a plot in R?

Labels and titles can be added using arguments like main, xlab, and ylab in base R or labs() in

ggplot2.

20. What are the common types of data visualizations?

Common types include line charts, bar charts, pie charts, scatter plots, heatmaps, and boxplots.
