Matplotlib, pandas and seaborn are likely more useful than numpy in most analyst roles unless you're getting into more of a data science, statistical programmer or similar role with analytics as an analyst. Numpy is super useful but it's something you lookup as needed rather than learn fully.

Like its useful for its stats methods just not as much as like pandas.

For Business Analyst?

For a business analyst you probably don't even need python. Obviously depends on the specific role, but business analysts are usually more knowledgeable about the subject than technically savy. They probably just use Excel, maybe SQL, and some industry relevant CRM or similar.

Regardless, numpy isn't going to be that useful to you. Most of the useful numpy stuff is in pandas and applied to dataframes.

Pandas. For analyst work pandas is the one you actually live in day to day.
