Project Summary
Throughout the progression of this course, we’ve learned about the significance of GIS and the data they could provide. As such, we have been how to extrapolate data and present it in a comprehensive and interactive manner. This week’s project presents another data analysis tool, raster analysis, of which we can utilize with the other topic at hand, imagery layers. To gain insight into this project, we must first define the concept of raster analysis. Raster “is a data format that consists of a matrix of cells (or pixels) organized into rows and columns (or a grid), in which each cells contains a value representing information. Raster data is advantageous because it consists of simple data structures, easy simulation due to the cells being the same size,
and simple overlay and combination of maps and remote sensed images. Most importantly, it is cheap to perform (Sain, 2018). The main drawback to raster data analysis is its aesthetics as it may appear crude and its use of large cells may distort data causing a serious loss of information (Sain, 2018). In the context of ArcGIS, imagery “refers to any raster or cell-based data” (Fu, 2022, p.325) and “is often used as a basemap for reference” (Fu, 2022, p.326) and for different forms of spatial analysis. Imagery can then be implemented and published as imagery layers, the second major topic of this week’s reading. An imagery layer “provides access to raster data through a web service” (Fu, 2022, p.330). The use of web services is nothing new as we’ve been utilizing them all throughout this course for data interpretation and presentation. However, this week’s project had us not only present the provided data in a visually, interactive manner but it also gave us the chance to analyze it through a new means, that is raster analysis. My intent was to complete the primary project but for some reason, I was not able to access the option to create an imagery layer. Therefore, I focused on the alternate project which
focused on geocoded data and graduated symbols. This project’s feature layer pertained to COVID-19 cases in the United States. The purpose of Project 6 was to manipulate the map to change the symbology to reflect confirmed cases by incident rate as well as deaths. By doing so, each attribute is highlighted, and the data is easily presented.

The purpose of this map was to provide raster data pertaining to COVID-19 cases in the United States. As with previous projects, the basemap did not have to illustrate anything in particular and therefore, I went with the default topographic basemap. Next, I added the two predetermined layers for this map, USA States Generalized Boundaries and the main focus of this map, COVID-19 US Cases. I was able to acquire both of these layers through the ArcGIS Online database. Map 1.1 COVID-19 Cases in the US

Introduction
Conditional formatting is a powerful tool for data visualization and analysis, as it helps you focus on the most relevant information and enhances the overall clarity of your Excel spreadsheets.
Questions
In what scenarios would conditional formatting be effective in highlighting critical data?
Which specific types of conditional formatting, encompassing both formatting choices and visualization techniques, would be most impactful in enhancing data interpretation? Feel free to provide examples and insights into the strengths and limitations of different approaches.

Most Excel projects start by choosing the most appropriate and useful data to enter into the workbook in a way that will help make meaning of the gathered data. Practise entering data into a new Excel workbook by creating a thorough itinerary for your dream vacation.Your workbook should include the following information:
- Travel dates
- Modes of transport (car rental reservations, bus or flight tickets, taxi hire, etc.)
- Travel routes (main stops in towns, cities, airports, bus stations, etc.)
- Travelling time
- Accommodation arrangements
- Sightseeing stops and other activities
- Reservations (for restaurants, amusement parks, etc.)
- Any other useful information
Use the following tips to create a well-organised itinerary:
- Carefully plan what headings to include in the columns and rows.
- Format the cells so that the headings are made clear, and that similar data is easy to identify.
- Summarise data by using the SUM, COUNT, and AVERAGE formulas. For example, you can work…

Infographics are graphic visual representations of information, knowledge, or data to present information concisely and clearly. The intent of graphics is to assist the audience with understanding the data presented.
Create an informative infographic page using no less than 7 terms associated with the stages of team building and their impact on high-performing teams.
An examination of each element
A discussion about why each item is significant to high-performing teams
Identification of the strengths, weaknesses, threats, and opportunities (SWOT) of each item and their impact on the team

Chapter 12 Assignment
Hide Assignment Information
Instructions
This assignment helps you to understand data visualization for business decision-making and strategic
planning. Use three (3) sections to discuss:
1. Discuss why data visualization helps improve decision-making.
2. Discuss the pros and cons of data visualization in decision-making.
3. Can we have a "one-click DSS" which allows us to make decisions instantly using a single click data
visualization? Why or why not?
(Note: To encourage students to learn more about data visualization, this chapter assignment includes an
OPTIONAL hands-on exercise of Looker Studio (new version of Google Data Studio). If you have a free
Google account, you are allowed to use Looker Studio online for free to learn basics of data visualization. A
brief step-by-step tutorial of Looker Studio is provided in a separate file posted in this module. If you can
follow the tutorial, go through the steps to practice a "toy" example, reach the final data…
