Data Science and SQL Quiz

What is the primary goal of the ‘Ask Questions’ stage in the Data Science Life Cycle?

• To analyze collected data using statistical methods.

• To define the problem and determine what data is needed.

• To interpret data visualizations and draw conclusions.

• To collect and clean raw data for analysis.

Which of the following activities is typically performed during the ‘Consider Data’ stage?

• Formulating initial questions about the data.

• Running complex algorithms to identify patterns.

• Gathering and cleaning data from various sources.

• Presenting findings and insights to stakeholders.

What is the main purpose of the ‘Analyze Data’ stage in the Data Science Life Cycle?

• To collect raw data from different sources.

• To visualize patterns, run calculations, and perform statistical analysis on data.

• To formulate questions about the data and define the problem.

• To interpret the results and draw meaningful conclusions.

In the ‘Interpret Data’ stage, what is the main focus?

• Collecting and cleaning data for analysis.

• Drawing conclusions and making informed decisions based on the analysis.

• Creating data visualizations and running statistical models.

• Formulating the initial questions to guide the data analysis.

Why is the Data Science Life Cycle considered an iterative process?

• Because each stage must be completed in a specific order without any repetition.

• Because insights from later stages can lead to refining questions or gathering additional data.

• Because data collection is a one-time activity that doesn’t need revisiting.

• Because the analysis stage always provides definitive answers without further investigation.

Why is data privacy important?

• It ensures all data is publicly accessible.

• It protects individuals’ rights and prevents misuse of personal information.

• It promotes unrestricted data collection for research purposes.

• It allows companies to freely share user data with third parties.

Which of the following is a key principle of data privacy?

• Collecting as much data as possible.

• Making data available to anyone who requests it.

• Limiting data collection to only what is necessary.

• Ignoring data security to encourage sharing.

What is data anonymization?

• The process of collecting personal information.

• The process of deleting all data.

• The process of removing personally identifiable information from data.

• The process of sharing data with third parties.

Which of the following scenarios best illustrates confirmation bias?

• A researcher meticulously collects and analyzes all available data, regardless of whether it supports their initial hypothesis.

• A news outlet only reports on stories that align with its political leaning, ignoring contradictory evidence.

• A teacher fairly grades all students based on pre-determined standards and criteria.

• An individual admits that they were wrong and changes their opinion.

What is a data biography and why is it important?

• A fictional story about data; it’s entertaining but not relevant to data analysis.

• A comprehensive record of a dataset’s origins, purpose, and transformations; it helps ensure responsible and informed data use.

• A short summary of a dataset’s key statistics; it’s useful for quick overviews but not in-depth analysis.

• A legal document outlining the terms of use for a dataset; it’s important for compliance but not for understanding the data itself.
