Starting a course in statistics may trigger many questions, some of which could be the following:

1. Why am I learning about statistics?

2. Do I needed to be a math expert to understand statistics?

3. I never needed it before, why would the future be any different?

4. How is my current GPA calculated?

5. Who has the best three-point average in the basketball playoffs?

6. Did I pay too much for my car compared to average prices in my city?

These are are just a few examples, showing that people are using statistics even if they are not aware of it.

Discuss how statistics, as a way of organizing and summarizing data, helped you make good decisions when shopping, selecting a place to live, or planning your budget for the next month.
