        Business growth: Data plays a vital role in business growth. By analysing
                                               data, businesses can make smarter decisions about how to improve
                                               their operations and services. Data gives insights into what customers

                                               want, how much they are willing to pay and what products are selling
                                               the most.

                       For example, sales data can help a store owner understand which items are popular and which
                     are not. If the sales data shows that a specific product is not selling well, the store owner can
                     decide to remove it from the shelves or offer discounts to clear out the stock. On the other hand,
                     if a certain product is selling out quickly, the owner can stock up on that product to meet customer
                     demand. Using data helps businesses grow by making decisions that align with customer needs.

                       Scientific research and development: Data acts as the backbone
                        of every research project. Through experiments, observations and
                        surveys,  scientists gather  data to test hypotheses, uncover new

                        knowledge and create solutions that improve the world.

                        For example, in medicine, researchers use data to understand how treatments work. By
                        collecting and analysing data from clinical trials, doctors can assess the effectiveness of a drug,
                        adjust dosages and manage side effects, ultimately improving patient care. Similarly, in
                        environmental science, data helps track the health of ecosystems and make informed decisions
                        on how to preserve biodiversity and protect natural resources. Data enables researchers to

                        identify patterns, test assumptions and support findings with solid evidence. Whether advancing
                        technology in space exploration or addressing climate change, data is essential for progress.
                        Without it, uncertainty remains, hindering discoveries that shape the future.

                                                     Enhancing cybersecurity: Data helps make cybersecurity stronger
                                                    by detecting problems and preventing future attacks. Cybersecurity
                                                    systems  constantly  monitor  large volumes  of data,  looking  for
                                                    patterns that indicate unusual activity.

                                                 For example, if someone tries to log in many times with the wrong
                                                 password, the system might block them from trying again, protecting
                        the account. By looking at data from past issues, cybersecurity experts can understand what
                        went wrong and fix it to stop it from happening again. For instance, if a system was hacked

                        through a certain weakness, data can help find similar weaknesses in other systems, so they
                        can be fixed before a hacker takes advantage of them. Using data in this way helps keep our
                        online information safe from attacks.

                        and apps more enjoyable by offering content tailored to your preferences.

                        For example,  if  you  often  watch  comedy  shows  on  Netflix, the  platform  will
                        recommend  more comedy  content  based  on your viewing habits.  This helps
                        you discover new shows or movies without spending too much time searching.

                                                                                              Basic Data Concepts     33
