Question

Susan wants to conduct a survey to find how much time the students of her school spent eating in a local cafeteria. Which of the following is an appropriate statistical question for this survey? Who eats at the cafeteria on weekends? How many students eat in the cafeteria on Mondays? How many students eat in the cafeteria once a week? How many hours during the week do you eat in the cafeteria?

Answer 1

How many hours during the week do you eat in the cafeteria.

This is the only question revolving around time.

Answer 2

Option D is the answer.

Explanation:

A statistical question is a type of question where the answer is given by collecting data and the data will be variable.

So, according to the definition, the most appropriate statistical question for this survey will be - How many hours during the week do you eat in the cafeteria?

This is the answer because rest options will not give a statistical answer. Rest questions(A,B and C) can be simply answered by raising hands.

But the last question will give a numerical value and most values will differ from each other. That's why this is the most appropriate question.
