What is a person-day?
The fee for one person's work in one working day (here 8 hours). Total = rate per person-day × number of days.
Are these figures exact?
No, they are estimates. The exact price comes from experts' proposals and varies with the market and skill.
Where does most of the time go in a data science project?
Usually into collecting and cleaning the data. How tidy the data is can matter more than the modelling itself.
Is there a rate difference between an analyst and a data scientist?
Reporting and dashboard work usually takes less time; work that needs model building and statistics raises the seniority and rate expectation.
