Here’s how each question can be classified:

**Statistical Question**:
- What is the number of tickets sold at the movie theater each day this month?

**Not a Statistical Question**:
- What is Steve's favorite sport?
- How many books are on the shelf in our math class?
- What is the height of each player on the basketball team?

A statistical question typically anticipates variability in the data and often involves a group or collection of data, while non-statistical questions usually seek a single specific answer.
