For example, a common question is how much bigger is one number than another, which involves subtraction. In statistics we don't know the means until we collect the data and do the calculations. This often results in subtracting a larger number from a smaller number which yields a negative number. We need to be able to perform arithmetic on both positive and negative numbers.
