1. What was the focus of your internship?

Answer: My internship focused on data analysis using tools such as Python, Power BI, Excel, and SQL. It

aimed at developing AI-driven skill-building platforms through real-time data processing and machine learning

techniques.

2. What is a Data Analyst?

Answer: A data analyst collects, processes, and interprets data to help organizations make informed

decisions. They use tools like Excel, SQL, Python, and BI tools to analyze trends and provide insights.

3. Explain the difference between IT and ITeS.

Answer: IT refers to the development and management of computer systems and software. ITeS, or

IT-enabled services, are services like BPOs that use IT infrastructure to deliver business services such as

customer support, data processing, etc.

4. What are future skills in IT?

Answer: Future skills include AI, machine learning, big data analytics, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and

soft skills like communication, teamwork, and time management.

5. What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?

Answer: AI is a branch of computer science that enables machines to simulate human intelligencesuch as

learning, reasoning, and self-correction. Examples include chatbots, recommendation systems, and

autonomous vehicles.

6. What are the types of AI?

Answer: Narrow AI performs specific tasks (e.g., Siri). General AI can perform any intellectual task like a

human (still theoretical). Superintelligent AI is a hypothetical AI surpassing human intelligence.

7. What is Big Data?

Answer: Big Data refers to large, complex data sets that traditional processing software can't handle. It is

characterized by 7 Vs: Volume, Velocity, Variety, Veracity, Value, Variability, and Visualization.

8. How is Big Data used in real life?

Answer: Its used in personalized marketing, fraud detection, healthcare analytics, weather forecasting, and

customer behavior prediction.

9. What is the difference between Descriptive and Inferential Statistics?

Answer: Descriptive statistics summarize data (mean, median, mode), while inferential statistics use sample

data to make predictions or generalizations about a population.

10. Define Mean, Median, and Mode.

Answer: Mean is the average, Median is the middle value, and Mode is the most frequent value in a dataset.

11. What is standard deviation?

Answer: Standard deviation measures how spread out the numbers are in a dataset. A low standard

deviation indicates that the data points tend to be close to the mean.

12. What is correlation?

Answer: Correlation measures the strength and direction of a relationship between two variables, typically

using Pearsons coefficient (r).
