A data scientist is analyzing a dataset to determine if there is a strong relationship between two variables. A measure of covariance is done. Which of the following graphs indicate Zero Covariance between variables?
Covariance measures the directional relationship between the returns on two assets. A positive covariance means that asset returns move together while a negative covariance means they move inversely. Zero covariance indicates that the returns on the two assets move independently of each other. In the context of a scatter plot, zero covariance is represented by a plot where the points do not show any upward or downward trend but are rather scattered randomly on the graph with no discernible pattern.
Graph 4 displays such a pattern where there is no apparent relationship between the variables on the x and y axes, indicating that there is zero covariance between them.
The research study is complete, the data has been analyzed and the team has created the necessary high impact visuals. The business analysis professional urges the team to:
An analyst is working through data on comparing performance scores in different schools across the state, for ranking purposes. Since there is a lot of data and some extreme outliers, the analyst is trying to determine which type of statistical average would best represent the results. Which of the following is a concern when relying too heavily on summary statistics during data analysis?
Summary statistics are numerical measures that describe certain characteristics of a data set, such as the mean, median, mode, standard deviation, range, or quartiles. Summary statistics can help simplify and communicate complex data, but they can also obscure or distort important information, such as the distribution, shape, outliers, or trends of the data. Contextualization is the process of providing relevant background information, assumptions, limitations, or explanations for the data analysis and its results. Contextualization can help avoid misinterpretation, confusion, or bias when using summary statistics. Contextualization can also help connect the data analysis to the business problem, objectives, and stakeholders.
An operations manager for a new hotel is in need of determining the optimum number of vans to purchase to shuttle guests to/from the airport. It will be necessary to determine the most efficient routes and schedule to follow to ensure guests do not experience excessive delays. Which business analytics technique would lend itself to supporting these types of business decisions?
An analyst supporting the Marketing department for a specialty retailer has been asked to look through past sales data to help guide product decisions. The business sponsor for this initiative would first like to know 'What is the most profitable product line?'. What type of analytics is the analyst going to perform to address this question?
