Full Transcript

hey everyone today we are tackling a Hot Topic what's the difference between a data analyst and a data scientist let's find out let's first talk about data analysts they are detectives of data they will gather process and perform statistical analysis on large data sets what's the main goal to uncover Trends correlations and insights that can inform business decisions now let's talk about data scientists they're often seen as wizards of data diving deeper into Data pool then not only analyze the data but also develop algorithms and predictive models to forecast the future Trends so what's the key difference it's in the scope and depth data analysts focus more on analyzing existing data and providing reports data scientists on the other hand forecast future Trends and build productive models often working with complex data sets
