ANSWER✅✅✅Business Understanding/Planning/Discovery
In what phase does the analyst deal with the following:
Gather/collect data from a variety of sources
Provide structure to data accessible via relational databases (SQL)
Build data pipeline (ETL)
Use of API to download data from an external source - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Data acquisition
In what phase does the analyst deal with the following:
Fixing improperly formatted values
Dealing with duplicates, missing data, and outliers
Data reduction - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Data cleaning/wrangling/scrubbing/munging
, In what phase does the analyst deal with the following:
Central Tendency/ Measures of center (e.g., mean, median, mode), variability (e.g., standard deviations
and quartiles) and distributions (e.g., normal, skewed, etc)
