A statistic is a number computed from a sample.
For example, the average length of stay in the birth hospital for a random sample of 387 infants born in Johnson County, Kansas 387 would be the statistic
Probability is more of a mathematical statisic whereas chance is more of luck or fortunance.
There is a very scary statisic but i think its every 10 or 20 seconds a dog is beaten...My dog that i have was beaten before we got her and the lady said its everyday they get at least 30 dogs in or find at least 30 dogs that have been beaten and neglected..the statisic are as scary as the child abuse rate...Scary stufff =/
that's not a good idea. extasy is a street drug. made with anything the "maker" wants to put in it. including house hold chemicals. people have died from that. don't be another statisic. think smart.
