Answer to Question 1

A data scientist is a role or a job frequently associated with Big Data or data science. In a very short time it has become one of the most sought-out roles in the marketplace. Currently, data scientists' most basic, current skill is the ability to write code (in the latest Big Data languages and platforms). A more enduring skill will be the need for data scientists to communicate in a language that all their stakeholders understandand to demonstrate the special skills involved in storytelling with data, whether verbally, visually, orideallyboth. Data scientists use a combination of their business and technical skills to investigate Big Data looking for ways to improve current business analytics practices (from descriptive to predictive and prescriptive) and hence to improve decisions for new business opportunities.
