Whether we realize it or not, statistics affect our everyday lives. Some examples to ponder: The weather forecasts we watch, the medicines we take, the medical care we receive, the marketing we see, the safety of our cars and the consumer goods we buy.

So, as a continuation of our "Ask the statistician" blog and video series, we asked statisticians at the recent SAS Global Forum about how they use statistics and how statistics benefit their organizations?  I challenge you to listen to the responses and think about how their work affects your life.

We would like to hear from you. How do you use statistics? What benefits does this bring to your organization ?

Remember check back soon for more "Ask a statistician" posts and to view the rest of the videos.
