Lecture 1.1.3

Data visualization transforms data into accessible information through visual formats like charts and graphs, aiding in understanding complex data. It enhances learning and memory retention, facilitates better decision-making in businesses, and effectively communicates information. By revealing patterns and relationships, data visualization serves as a powerful tool for both comprehension and engagement.

Data Visualization:

Data visualization is a way of turning data into information. It’s a visual


representation of numbers and other data that helps us understand the presented
information. The goal is to make it simpler and more accessible to understand
complex data. It can be used in different formats, including charts, graphs, or
diagrams.

Data visualization helps us make sense of data by simplifying it and presenting it
in a clear way that is easy to understand. It can represent anything from complex
economic trends to simple relationships between different variables.
Data visualization can be done on paper or computer screens using software
programs such as Excel or Tableau; however, sometimes, it’s done using physical
objects such as maps or models. It helps us see patterns and relationships
between different pieces of information, which can help us make better and more
efficient decisions about our lives and businesses — whether looking at real
estate prices or trying to find out what your customers want most from your
company.

Importance of Data Visualizations

1. Visuals Help Learn More Effectively


Visuals help you understand and remember more. This is because the human
brain can process visuals 60,000 faster than text. Visuals help you learn more
quickly by making information easier to see and comprehend at a glance than
text alone can provide.
Visuals help you learn more deeply by providing context that adds meaning to
your understanding of numbers (and vice versa). For example, if I tell you that my
income was $60k last year but leave it at that — without showing any visual
representations — then each dollar amount could mean something different
depending on what kind of lifestyle I am living (or not).
However, if I show how much money we spent on groceries per month ($300)
compared with how many nights we went out for dinner ($200), then suddenly
those numbers make sense because they’re tied back into real-world examples
which provide context around them. This helps build understanding because now
it’s easy to visualize what happened when all those numbers were collected
together during one year.
Visuals also allow us to process information efficiently while still retaining
accuracy thanks to interactivity with other people without having anyone miss
anything important from either side due to both listening/talking simultaneously.
This makes communicating faster & easier overall since everyone involved knows 4
2. Data Visualization Makes It Easier to Comprehend and Remember
Information
Data visualization is a great way to process and understand data. By visually
representing your data, you can see patterns that might otherwise be difficult to
discern from a table full of numbers. Additionally, the more time you spend with
visualizations, the more likely you’ll remember the information they display — and
even more important facts that are not explicitly shown in the visualization but
can nevertheless be inferred from it.
Finally, data visualizations can help you make sense of complex relationships
between variables. For example, if one variable changes over time while another
doesn’t change (or vice versa), this could indicate some relationship between
them — but only if those changes are visible in the same graphic or chart.

3. Effective Data Visualization Is a Superpower of Any Business


Data Visualization is a superpower of any business. Data Visualization can help
businesses to make better decisions, get more customers and save money. Let’s
take a look at how Data Visualization can be used to the benefit of your business:
•Get Better Decisions — With the help of data visualization tools, you can track
various aspects of your business and find out what is working well or not so well.
This way, you will be able to make better decisions regarding improving it further
by taking necessary actions based on this information.

•Get More Customers — By providing easy access to information through
visualizations, businesses can attract more customers as they would feel that
their question was answered quickly without having to go through pages and
pages of data before getting an answer. This way, they become more loyal
towards the products/services offered by these businesses since they feel valued
after using them because they were able to get answers in less time than
expected. It also makes things easier when comparing different options available,
making it easier for people who want something similar but don’t know where
else.

4. If a Picture Verifies the Story, It Sells


Data visualization is an effective way to communicate with audiences. This is
because the human brain, as mentioned before, can process visual information
60,000 faster than text. This makes it easier to understand data, which is why
visuals make great communication tools.
Visuals also help us remember the information they present better than plain text
or even tables of numbers (unless you’re a stats geek).
Visuals are a powerful tool that can tell stories and compare two sets of data
simultaneously.

5. Data Visualization Helps Explain Cause-And-Effect Relationships


Data visualization is an essential tool for understanding your data. However, 6
