Data Analysis

Category: Technical

Data analysis is examining data to draw accurate, decision-useful conclusions — cleaning it, choosing the right method, and correctly interpreting the result rather than over-claiming what the numbers show. Assessment items use realistic, sometimes messy datasets rather than pre-cleaned examples, because that gap is where the real skill shows.
