Every time you tell someone you will be somewhere at a particular time statistics are at work weather you are conscious of it or not.
You take into consideration how long it would take with traffic, with out traffic. What time you usually get out of bed and have breakfast. Depending on the importance of the appointment you add time such that even with a lot of traffic or bad weather, or finding parking you make it on time. Sometimes you do not care so decisions based on usual traffic patterns, how long it takes to get the kids out and having cereal or bacon and eggs with toast and coffee do not matter.
Really when you think about nearly all of out decisions are statistically based.

everytime you hear a percentage, that's a statistic. anytime you see/hear an average...that's stats.
