How can you tell whether or not a question is a statistical question?

A statistical question is one for which you don't expect to get a single answer. Instead, you expect to get a variety of different answers, and you are interested in the distribution and tendency of those answers. For example, "How tall are you?" is not a statistical question. But "How tall are the students in your school?" is a statistical question.
