A statistical question is one that anticipates variability and requires collecting data from more than one individual (then summarizing or describing that variation). It cannot be answered with a single precise number about one person or one fixed fact.

Examples:
- Statistical: "What are the heights of the troupe members?" or "What is the average age of the troupe members?" or "How many hours per week do members practice?"
- Not statistical: "How old is Gavin?" or "How many people are in the troupe?" (those have single exact answers)

If you paste the specific choices you were given, I’ll pick which one is the statistical question.
