**Section 1: Exploring Data Science Concepts (25 Marks)**
**1. Python Libraries in Action**
In this section, we examine three essential Python libraries-Pandas, NumPy, and Matplotlib-to understand
**Pandas**
Pandas is a powerful library for data manipulation and analysis. It provides data structures like DataFrames
Example Use Case:**
```python
import pandas as pd
Loading data
data = pd.read_csv("data.csv")
Data manipulation
filtered_data = data[data["Age"] > 25]
Summarizing data
summary = filtered_data.describe()
print(summary)
```
Typical Workflow:**
- Importing and cleaning datasets
- Data filtering and transformation
- Summarizing and analyzing structured data
**NumPy**
NumPy is a fundamental package for numerical computations in Python. It provides support for arrays, mat
Example Use Case:**
```python
import numpy as np
Creating arrays
array = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
Performing operations
mean_value = np.mean(array)
print("Mean:", mean_value)
```
Typical Workflow:**
- Handling multidimensional arrays
- Performing mathematical computations
- Supporting operations for machine learning models
**Matplotlib**
Matplotlib is a versatile library for creating static, animated, and interactive visualizations in Python.
Example Use Case:**
```python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
Creating a line plot
x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
y = [10, 20, 25, 30, 40]
plt.plot(x, y, marker="o")
plt.title("Line Plot Example")
plt.xlabel("X-axis")
plt.ylabel("Y-axis")
plt.show()
```
Typical Workflow:**
- Plotting and visualizing data trends
- Customizing visual elements for clarity
- Presenting insights effectively

**Section 2: The Power of Data Visualization**
**Selected Research Paper:**
"An Introduction to Data Visualization Tools and Techniques in Various Domains" by Deepmala Srivastava,
[ResearchGate Link](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/370593444_An_Introduction_to_Data_Visua
**Overview of the Visualization**
The paper presents a bar chart comparing the effectiveness of different data visualization tools across vario
**Key Elements of the Visualization**
- **Type of Data Represented:**
- **Categorical Data:** Different domains (e.g., business, healthcare).
- **Numerical Data:** Effectiveness scores of visualization tools.
- **Visualization Features:**
- Bars representing effectiveness scores for each tool within specific domains.
- Color coding to differentiate between tools.
- Clear axis labels and a legend for easy interpretation.
**Effectiveness of the Visualization**
- **Strengths:**
- **Comparative Analysis:** Enables quick comparison of tool effectiveness across domains.
- **Clarity:** Well-labeled axes and legend enhance readability.
- **Color Differentiation:** Assists in distinguishing between multiple tools.
- **Weaknesses:**
- **Lack of Interactivity:** A static bar chart limits user engagement.
- **Data Granularity:** Aggregated effectiveness scores may overlook specific tool features.
**Insights Gained**
The visualization highlights that certain tools excel in specific domains. For instance, Tableau shows high e
