Feeling ... a middle school student again

I have been reading some research review and basic statistics textbooks lately. Oh boy, moving average, mean, median, mode, t test, p-value, and chi-Square... I feel I went back to my middle school again. My middle school teacher never explained why we have to learn statistics. Now I understand why - researchers use statistics to "make a point". Statistics data is used to determine whether meaningful or significant differences for the results of a research project.

Why didn't the teachers tell us? - :))
