The best statistical question to ask in order to learn about your classmates’ favorite movie is: **"How many students like The Lord of the Rings as their favorite movie?"**
This question is statistical because it seeks to gather data from a group (your classmates) and can be quantified, allowing for an analysis of how popular that particular movie is among the class. The other options are either not generalizable (asking about Mr. Maddox’s preference) or are not framed to gather data from multiple students (asking about ownership rather than preference).
