    We need statistics in the world because it would be very difficult to make decisions based on certain types of data collected. Without statistics we have no way of making an educated decision between two possibilities.

  3. We need statistics in the world to determine what types of data can be formed and or collected. There is no way you can just depict the outcome of something without having a somewhat adequate system.

Statistics could be based on anything from comparing things or simply explaining how someone feel about a certain thing. Statistics is basically gathering , analyzing , and concluding data .

  8. There are five major reasons to study statistics:
    The first reason is to be able to effectively conduct research. Without the use of statistics it would be very difficult to make decisions based on the data collected from a research project. For example, in the study cited in Chapter One, is the difference in recorded absenteeism between psychiatric and obstetrics nurses large enough to conclude that there is meaningful difference in absenteeism between the two units? There are two possibilities: The first possibility is that the difference between the two groups is a result of chance factors. In reality, the two jobs have approximately the same amount of absenteeism. The second possibility is that there is a real difference between the two units with the psychiatric unit being more nurses missing work. Without statistics we have no way of making an educated decision between the two possibilities. Statistics, however, provides us with a tool to make an educated decision. We will be able to decide which of the two possibilities is more likely to be true. We will base this decision on our knowledge of probability and inferential statistics.

  9. Statistics is the art of gathering, analyzing and making conclusions from data. Most of the significant development in the theory of statistics didn't occur until the late nineteenth century and early twentieth centuries.Sports recruiters use statistics to check out potential athletes. Sports teams also use statistics to prepare for upcoming opponents. They look to see which players on the opposing teams are doing well at that time. They also use statistics to decide which players are doing well and they try to predict which players will bring the best results for the game.

  10. We need statistics in this world because it ties in with everyday life. We use statistics to better our education on things like medicine and we use them for experiments and observations of different topics. Statistics also helps us predict whats going to happen. For instance statistics is used to predict the weather for days and weeks to come.

Statistics is the study of the collection, organization, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of data.Without the use of statistics it would be very difficult to make decisions based on the data collected from a research project. Statistics is one of the most useful subjects anyone can learn. You can use statistics to collect and prove information correct or incorrect. The statistical methods will provide you with a framework for the decision-making process. Statistical techniques are used to make many decisions that affect our lives

    We need statistics to make meaningful comparisons when there are multiple sources of data. It gives us the possibility of something happening like who is more likely to when in an election. You survey people or collect data over periods of time which would be used in a statistic. Insurance use statistics based on your age, gender, and race to determine if your more likely to be involved in an accident. So your rates may go up or down depending on their data.

  14. We need statistics in the world to make decisions. I believe we use statistics to analyze. We also use statistics to find a conclusion or outcome. That is how we use conclusions in everyday life

  15. I think that we need statistics because it's important to find out the purpose of the study. There might be some statistics to describe the known situations. They are also for finding and solving new solutions to them and describing othr examples. Furthermore, we would need the statistics for similar demonstrations of different projects. With these characteristics, statistics would be useful.

    We need statistics in the world to analyze data like voting, teen pregnacy, etc. With statistics we can see how many people do different activities, where they eat, who they vote for. Amendment 1 is a statistic because it shows what people want public charter schools and who doesn't.

    Statistics act as factual information given to the public in order to seperate data into specific groups. Statistics are commonly used in the figuration of determining the outcome of things that effect a large number of people. Business owners use statistics when they are trying to introduce new products/goods to the public.

  23. We need statistics in the world because it is relied on data and information. It is basically used for previous or future outcomes on a particular subject. To know something about a group, for example the election that just passed a group people voted for Obama. That same group of people can be studied on and be considered part of statistics.

  24. Statistics is based on information or collecting data. Statistics enable us to make comparisons, without them we will not be able to plan for the future. We would not be able to make sensible choices. It is the only way to handle the interpretations of such data and decisions about hypotheses that confront us in all areas of research.

  25. Statistics are the practice of collecting and analyzing numerical data in large quantities. Statistics allow us keep up with important data that may help us with something in the present or maybe in the future. Statistics can be used for a variety of things throughout the world and in our everyday life. For example, statistics can be used for our insurance. You know that in order to drive your car you are required by law to have car insurance. If you have a mortgage on your house, you must have it insured as well. The rate that an insurance company charges you is based upon statistics from all drivers or homeowners in your area. Another prime example could be predicting disease. Lots of times on the news reports, statistics about a disease are reported. If the reporter simply reports the number of people who either have the disease or who have died from it, it's an interesting fact but it might not mean much to your life. But when statistics become involved, you have a better idea of how that disease may affect you. For example, studies have shown that 85 to 95 percent of lung cancers are smoking related. The statistic should tell you that almost all lung cancers are related to smoking and that if you want to have a good chance of avoiding lung cancer, you shouldn't smoke.

  27. We need statistics to support topics with data and information. If there were no statistics there would be a lot of unanswered. Statistics require data, research, a hypothesis and a question you collect this information from a group of individuals. To prove your hypothesis is based on the group of individuals surveyed. We need statistic to know what or how people think and what is going on in the world.

  29. Statistics are needed to conduct studies and gather information. Res are used to combined large sums of data to be analyzed. They are also used to conduct research and deny or support a hypothesis. They help to analyze data about a given subject. Without statistics we would not be able to determine information about large groups.

    Statistics is the practice or science of collecting and analyzing numerical data in large quantities. Statistics are used for an variety of things. When I think of statistics I think of facts,research, data etc, and of course we use or go by majority of the things that I just named. Two real life examples would be that an: Sports recruiters use statistics to check out potential athletes. Sports teams also use statistics to prepare for upcoming opponents. They look to see which players on the opposing teams are doing well at that time. They also use statistics to decide which players are doing well and they try to predict which players will bring the best results for the game.

  32. We need Statistics to find out the facts of things. For example statistics can show whether black men are more in jail then any other race. Another example is that in a year of such and such we can have more drought than any other time. Statistics are basically a branch of applied mathematics. Statistics is making effective use of numerical data relating to groups of individuals or experiments.

  33. Statistics is the study of the collection, organization, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of data. One reason why the world may need Statistics is because it also gives you different numbers of the way people view, react, feel, about certain things that go on in their everyday life. For example statics show that there are more single parent households than two parent households.

    Statistics are sets of data available in order to provide an educated outlook. This mathematical resource is used most often in the business world. People use statistics everyday simply to learn about a trend, comparison, or to see who prefers what & why. If stastics say that a certain age group or race listen to a specific radio station, an advertiser can make a progressive decision upon whether to advertise their product on that station. Without statistics, more risks would be taken, wasting more time & money throughout the world.

    Statistics is needed in this world for many reasons. The main reason, in my opinion, is as reference prior to making a decision. For example, let's say a teenager named Chris was deciding whether or not dropping out of high school and finding a job would be wise. As Chris thought about it, he noticed a billboard that read "Percent of US jobs a high school dropout is not eligible for: 90%." After taking this statistic into consideration, Chris probably decided the latter and finished high school. Had not someone took the time to gather the information necessary to create such a statistic and publicize it, Chris would have had a hard time living happily ever after.

    We need statistics in the world in order to know something about a large group of something after only studying a small group of that portion. We take a little bit of a population and study it, and then we can usually draw conclusions about the rest of the population without also studying each member of the population individually.

  38. we need statistics in the world because it would make everything easier, when comparing things or trying to prove a point your gonna need some type of data that can verify.Statistics play a vital role in poverty reduction and world development. The power of
    statistics is recognised in their use which spans the design and implementation stages
    of country policy frameworks, such as Poverty Reduction Strategies. Statistics are also
    deployed to monitor progress towards the internationally agreed Millennium Development

  41. shoo my opinion It important for a researcher to know what statistics they want to use before they collect their data. Otherwise data might be collected that is not pretable. so when this happens it results in a loss of data, time, and money. and all the reserch you gather up, like knowing how to fix a car, you gotta gather up information to knowing how before you try to fix the car i guesss

  42. One of the most prominet reasons we need statistics in the world is when we vote for our countries leaders. Statistics may show us a demographic of who is the lead and ultimately who would be a countries next president.
