Definition of statistics:

Statistics is a branch in mathematics that is concerned with the collection, analysis, interpretation, presentation and organization of data. Statistics is also a science of collecting and analyzing numerical data in large proportions and usually for the purpose of inferring samples in a whole, from those drawn from a representative proportion.

Therefore from this definition we understand that statistics is the rudder of the ship and its compass. This is because without analyzing information that surrounds your plan through gathering information then  analyzing, interpreting, presenting and organizing the data, you will work blind.
 
This can result in dire consequences because your plan can fail terribly resulting in losses, wastage of time and even loss of trust by clients
Therefore statistics is very important because it prepares us for what to expect and to establish a contingency plan.
