Question 2

Review what other data files are available on this NOAA National centers for Environmental Information Quick Links page. Select one other file that might contain data of interest to a company or government agency and briefly describe an analysis that could be performed using this data.

Question 3

Question 5

Summarize the major steps performed in the analysis shown in the tutorial, and the IBM BigSheets functions used in the analysis

Question 6

Compare and contrast the analysis shown in the tutorial, using Hadoop and IBM BigSheets. With how a similar analysis might be performed on a smaller data set using Microsoft Excel. What was similar and what was different? What challenges would be …..by an analyst skilled in Excel when adjusting to working with big data sets using Hadoop?
