“I had a pretty normal day,” “I have little confidence in our ability to win today,” and “That’s so random!” are statements you might use in conversation. We use a lot of everyday language to describe situations in statistics. Does the use of words that you’re already familiar with, such as normal, confidence, and random, help you understand the statistical concepts they describe? Explain why or why not.

I would say that yes, they do. The concepts are being described like normal, confidence, and random. Those are describing the statistical concept the sentence is placed around. Think of this...
Day => Normal
that makes sense... and it's describing the day so it helps you understand that the day is like every other...
Winning => "little" confidence
This one kind of helps describe it if you add in little... This helps you understand that the person speaking in this sentence probably isn't so sure about how the game is going to turn out...
...??? => random
The thing that was mentioned before hand what probably off topic of what those particular people were talking about... so it was random... It helps you understand that the topic that was just mentioned before this was probably off base of the topic that was previously being discussed....

I do not know if these are right. This is just what I think. I would wait for a another person's answer/comment to compare to before you really kind of take my thoughts/answer seriously. :) I hope this helps!
