Do you have to be good at math for data analysis?

Question

Can anyone tell me whether I have to be good at math for data analysis?

Answer 1

The short answer is yes. You have to be good at math for data analysis because:

• To choose the right preparation of data for computation, transform data better and choose the right methods.
• To understand what means what (Example: mean vs median), interpreting results, testing significance, etc.
• To interpret from the graphical illustrations made on data.
