Question

1. describe the difference between a question and a problem in data analytics.

a question can have many answers, whereas a problem only has one solution.
a question is a topic to investigate, whereas a problem is a subject to investigate.
a question is designed to discover information, whereas a problem is an obstacle or complication that needs to be solved.
a question is uncertain, whereas a problem is clearly specified.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Questions in data analytics can have multiple solutions, and problems can too, so this is incorrect.
• Option 2: A question in data analytics is about investigating a topic, and a problem is the obstacle (issue to solve), which aligns with definitions.
• Option 3: A question is to discover info, but a problem is an obstacle (not just a subject to investigate), so this is incorrect.
• Option 4: The uncertainty/specification description is reversed (problems are often the ones with obstacles needing solution, questions can be more open), so this is incorrect.

Answer:

A question is designed to discover information, whereas a problem is an obstacle or complication that needs to be solved.
