<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

The speaker wants to indicate readers the important thing is how they can understand the poem

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

A contribution to statistics is a poem written by wislava szymborska from poland. He has also been awarded Nobel Prize in 1996. Here the not approximate numbers are our efforts to measure the life in which we often fail because we want the world to be as we want which is never possible even if we try to.

The only thing which is going to happen and is certain is death and we have an exact number which is death. In the poem the poet goes from exact numbers to approximate numbers to show how people feel about them, they are not just numbers but it's upon people's mind how they perceive them. According to the speaker, the most likely reason the books will last even after people are gone is because they were created by ideas
