Qno:1 Explain Tableau, and Weka tools.

Tableau: Tableau is a powerful data visualization tool that allows users to connect to various data
sources, transform raw data into understandable insights, and create interactive dashboards. It
simplifies the process of visualizing complex data sets, making it accessible to users without
extensive technical skills.

Weka: Weka (Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis) is a suite of machine learning
algorithms for data mining tasks. It provides a collection of tools for data preprocessing,
classification, regression, clustering, and more. Weka is open-source and written in Java, making
it flexible and extensi

Q2: Why are Tableau and Weka widely used in data science?

Tableau: Widely used for its intuitive drag-and-drop interface, allowing users to create visually
appealing and interactive dashboards without extensive coding. It supports real-time
collaboration and can connect to various data sources.

Weka: Known for its comprehensive set of machine learning algorithms, making it a valuable
tool for data scientists and researchers. Weka is open-source, allowing for customization and
extension of its capabilities.

Q3: How do Tableau and Weka tools work?

Tableau: Connects to data sources, performs data transformations, and creates visualizations
through a user-friendly interface. Users can drag and drop elements to design dashboards,
enabling easy interpretation of complex data.

Weka: Implements machine learning algorithms for various tasks. Users can preprocess data,
select algorithms, and evaluate model performance. Weka’s workflow involves loading data,
applying algorithms, and analyzing results.
