1. What is Data Science?

Data science is a multidisciplinary field focused on extracting insights from

large volumes of raw, structured, or unstructured data using scientific
methods, algorithms, and technologies.

It involves asking the right questions, analyzing data, and using models to
make informed decisions.

2. Types of Data in Data Science with Examples:

Structured Data: Clearly defined data types like databases (e.g., sales
records, employee information).

Unstructured Data: Data without a pre-defined structure, like text from

social media posts or emails.

Semi-structured Data: Data that doesn't conform to a rigid structure but

has some organizational properties, like JSON or XML files.

3. What is Data Visualization in Data Science?

Data visualization is the process of creating graphical representations

(charts, graphs, etc.) of data to make the information easier to understand
and interpret. It helps in identifying trends, patterns, and insights.

4. What is Data Analytics and Its Applications?

Data analytics is the process of examining raw data to extract meaningful

insights. Applications include:

Predictive analytics in healthcare (predicting patient outcomes)

Fraud detection in finance

Customer segmentation in marketing.
