3. Each question is of 3 marks
4. Write analysis points for each question.

Q1. Use the California Wildfire Damage Dataset and answer the following questions
a) Abiraj, a wildfire analyst, wants to calculate the average area burned per wildfire to
understand the scale of destruction. Which function should he use to find the average
of the "Area_Burned (Acres)" column?
b) Some wildfire locations (Column "Location") have inconsistent capitalization (e.g.,
some are written in lowercase, others in uppercase). Which function should Abiraj use
to convert all location names to proper case?
c) The dataset records the wildfire start date in the "Date" column. Abiraj wants to
extract only the year to analyze wildfire trends over time. Which function should he
use
Q2. Use the California Wildfire Damage Dataset and answer the following questions
a) Abiraj wants to sort the dataset to display the largest wildfires first, based on acres
burned. Which feature in Excel should he use to sort the data?
b) Some wildfires have missing values in the "Homes_Destroyed" column. Which
function can he use to count how many records have non-empty values in this
column?
c) Some wildfires have missing values in the "Homes_Destroyed" column. Which
function can he use to count how many records have non-empty values in this
column?
Q3. Use the California Wildfire Damage Dataset and answer the following questions
a) The wildfire management team wants to categorize wildfires based on acres burned as
follows:
"Small Fire" if acres burned is less than 1,000 acres
"Moderate Fire" if acres burned is between 1,000 and 10,000 acres
"Large Fire" if acres burned is more than 10,000 acres
Which function should Abiraj use to automatically assign these categories?
b) Abiraj wants to visually highlight all wildfires that caused financial losses exceeding
$2,000 million using a color-based rule in Excel. Which feature should he use to
format these rows automatically?
c) Some wildfire records contain errors in financial loss calculations, such as #VALUE!.
Abiraj wants to modify his formula to detect and replace errors with "Data
Unavailable" instead. How can he achieve this in Excel?
