‣ If one is good in Analytical Skills then he can easily spot the difference
between good and bad data just by having a look at it.
‣ The main reason for Analytic results going bad is that the Data collected
is not coming from the experiment.
‣ The managers and Analytics team should strategize some questions that
can solve their problems and then perform a survey on that same
questionnaire.
