Statistics is not the same as guesswork, no matter how many times you say it… 
The problem a lot of people have with Statistics (as a Branch of Mathematics) is that it can often be counterintuitive, which can confuse people (because they find it difficult to understand, they dismiss it).
For example, how many people would have to be in a room before it was likely there would be two with the same birthday?
