Answer 1

A statistical question is one that anticipates variability in the data and typically requires data collection and analysis to answer.

Among the questions provided, the one that qualifies as a statistical question is:

What is the average height of the members of the dance troupe?

This question requires information from multiple members to determine the average, thus incorporating variability in data. The other questions are either specific to an individual or do not involve a dataset that would produce statistical variability.
