The processes used to complete a data science project vary in their number of steps and functions, but in the end, the objectives and outcomes are similar.
Research on the Web to identify what you believe to be the set (version) of steps that you'd use to complete a Data Science project. You should find versions with 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, or more steps. If you choose a particular set of steps, cite your source and explain why you would use that approach. If you wish, you can develop your own approach, drawing on the research, if you think there may be a better way. As you get deeper into Data Science, in subsequent courses, you should learn the validity of your approach.
List the steps of your approach, cite its source, and provide an explanation of why this particular approach would work best for you.

- Computer Science Rewrite this brief section. Create a table that illustrates the data. INTRODUCTION: The University of Wisconsin–Stout has experienced a series of large budget cuts in recent years. The athletic department has been granted an estimated budget of $250,000 for updates of current facilities. For a new floor installation to be feasible, the total cost must not reach over $250,000. FIGURES: According to Connors Flooring, the total installation cost of a maple sports floor is $81,300 with over 38 years of life expectancy. This is based on a 10,000-square-foot floor. The Maple Floor Manufacturers Association has concluded that wood floors also require regular cleaning, sanding, lines repainted, and floor refinishing approxi- mately every three years. This is a cost of approximately $8,000.00 per three years, equaling $2,666.00 p/year. With a 38 year life expectancy, the total for cleaning, sanding, painting, etc. = 101,308.
