Statistic Reaction Paper to 21 “Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner.” This is an old saying spoken out from a Chinese man who won a lot in Les Vegas casino. But how is gambling connected with statistics? This is the first enlightenment that I get from this movie. Moreover, the second enlightenment is that I should find something to stand out from the paper in my whole life time——to make me special and dazzle.
