What is Data Visualization and Analysis?
The demand for data skills continues to increase across many fields, such as health science, business, technology, social studies, economics, education, law, and more. Data analysis involves using statistical methods to extract useful information from sets of data, while data visualization involves representing aggregated data in tables, charts, graphs, or other visual models.
