From your personal experience, what is your encounter with Statistics?

Did you keep track of your expenditure using some table(s) or graph(s)? How have the table(s) and graph(s) been useful to you?

Did you notice that your family's usage of electricity, water and gas are charted in the utilities bill? Why did the"Singapore Power" use graphs or share such information with the users?

How is statistics 'embedded' within your learning activities in other subjects like Science?)

From newspapers articles, how are statistics being used to report happening arounding you?

You may include some images (diagrams) to illustrate/ support your points.
Remember to use mathematical terms to demonstrate your understanding of these terms
You may share your view on whether Statistics is a means to report situations in an objective manner? Does it always present a 'truthful' stand or sometimes, statistics lie?

It would be useful to have examples to support your point of view
