Suggested statistical investigative question:
- "What proportion of respondents prefer each article of clothing, and which article is most preferred?"
Why this is statistical:
- It asks about the distribution of preferences (proportions) across categories and allows comparison.
How to answer from the table (brief calculation):
- Total respondents = 29 + 16 + 13 + 9 + 7 = 74.
- Proportions: Shoe = 29/74 ≈ 39.2%, Hat = 16/74 ≈ 21.6%, Coat = 13/74 ≈ 17.6%, Sweater = 9/74 ≈ 12.2%, Suit = 7/74 ≈ 9.5%.
- Most preferred item: Shoe (≈39.2%).
