Quantitative Data and Qualitative Data:
Quantitative Data:
Quantitative data consists of numerical values that
can be measured and quantified.
It deals with quantities and is often expressed using
numbers.
Examples of quantitative data include age, height,
weight, income, and the number of products sold.
This type of data can be analyzed using statistical
techniques.
Qualitative Data:
Qualitative data, also known as categorical or
non-numeric data, represents categories or
attributes.
It cannot be measured in a meaningful way with
numbers alone.
Examples of qualitative data include gender,
color, marital status, and product categories.
Qualitative data is typically analyzed by counting
and categorizing
What is an outlier?
An outlier is an observation or data point that
significantly deviates from the other data points in a
dataset.
It is a value that is unusually high or low compared to
the majority of the data.
Outliers can skew statistical analyses and distort the
interpretation of data.
Identifying and handling outliers is important in data
analysis to ensure the accuracy of results and models.
Can you give an example of root cause analysis?
Root cause analysis is a systematic process used to
identify the underlying causes of a problem or an event.
It involves investigating the chain of events that led to a
particular outcome to determine the primary cause or
causes.
An example of RCA might involve examining why a
manufacturing process resulted in defective products.
The analysis would delve into factors such as equipment
malfunction, operator error, or material quality issues to
identify the root cause and implement corrective actions.
What is the meaning of KPI? Give some examples of KPI from
your personal projects
KPIs are measurable metrics or indicators that are used to evaluate
the performance of an organization, a project, or a specific process.
They help in assessing whether objectives and goals are being met.
Examples of KPIs from my personal projects could include:
Website Traffic: Number of daily/weekly/monthly visitors to a
website.
Customer Churn Rate: Percentage of customers who stop using a
product or service.
Conversion Rate: Percentage of website visitors who make a
purchase.
Revenue Growth: Percentage increase in revenue compared to the
previous quarter.
Response Time: Average time taken to respond to customer inquiries
