Talk:Statistics/Introduction/Why

Again, an outline. Perhaps it'd be best to answer the question "why you should learn statistics" in three easy parts:


 * Statistics are everywhere. (Sports, budgeting, business, polls, traffic jams - things ordinary people can relate to.)
 * You can use statistics to make good decisions. (Politicians take polls, businessmen use graphs, doctors use experiments, etc.)
 * Statistics breed curiosity. (It helps you question assumptions, draw conclusions, etc.)

I like the "but seriously, folks" take on the fictional example.
