Numbers in stories are extremely important. They are important because they provide credibility and solid information to any story. Numbers provide evidence about information that one is putting forth. They provide more credibility then saying something more unspecific, such as "a bunch."
As a reader I personally look for numbers because it provides a much more solid base of information then just having to take the writers word for their piece. Though numbers can be used in a negative way if they are used in excess, if there are too many numbers then it could take away from the overall story and possibly distract the reader for the information one is trying to relay.
