What statistics mean to me is the measurement of data. one example of this comes form my work. The last safety meeting they told us that metal-matic has lost 1.5 million dollars since this time last week. The Other example is from the gym. and is the amount of weight in relation to the amount of reps. the first example make a impact cause managment wants to know how they can fix this. so for example, the day after we were told this news. upper managment from pittsburgh flew out to mpls. to see what was the reason for this and too see what they could do to remdy the situation. I still am waiting to see what happens there. but you better believe that static will impact there decisions. and the latter example. If im liffting a certain weight with good control for my desired rep range. Then i will make the descion to increase the weight based on that static
