To identify statistical questions, we look for questions that require data collection and analysis to answer, typically involving variability or information from a group.
-
How much money do TV actors make per episode? - This is statistical because it suggests variability among different actors' salaries and would require data collection from multiple sources.
-
How many hours of TV did Lindsey watch last week? - This is not statistical as it pertains to a specific individual's experience and does not involve variability or a broader data set.
-
What is your classmates' favorite TV show? - This is also statistical because it implies that there are multiple classmates with different favorite shows, and it requires data collection to determine the most popular choice.
So, the statistical questions are:
- How much money do TV actors make per episode?
- What is your classmates' favorite TV show?
