Duplicate data occurs when the same row appears more than once in a dataset. These duplicate entries can skew your analysis by overrepresenting certain values, leading to inaccurate statistics, misleading trends, and unreliable results. Detecting and quantifying duplicate rows is a fundamental part of data cleaning, as it helps you understand the extent of the problem and informs your next steps—such as removing or consolidating these duplicates.

}
