As observed, all the questions in the list can be answered on the basis of some data collection and analysis.

So they all can be considered as statistical questions.

Thus, all the questions in the given list are statistical questions.

1.

If you have to answer the question for most popular lunch choice, you have to collect data of the lunch choices by a large portion of the called population. Then the lunch choice corresponding to highest frequency will be considered as the most popular lunch choice. Since the conclusion is data driven, this is a statistical question.

2.

In order to answer the question, you need to collect the information about the name of school each of the called population is admitted to. If all the students are found to be admitted to the same school, then the name of that school would be the answer.

Here also, the conclusion is data driven, so this is also a statistical question.

3.

To answer this question, you have to gather all the teaching staff of the school, and take individual answers to which subject they teach. The number of teachers who answered math will be the answer for this question.

Here also, the conclusion is data driven, so this is also a statistical question.

4.

To answer this question, you have to gather the individual age of each teacher in the school. The age corresponding to the maximum frequency would be the answer to this question.

Here also, the conclusion is data driven, so this is also a statistical question.

5.

To answer this question, you have to collect data about how much sleep each student gets in the school. Then only you can answer this question.

Since the conclusion is data driven, this is a statistical question.

6.

To answer this question, you have to collect data that how many students travel by which mode of transport to travel from home to school. The mode corresponding to highest frequency is the answer to this question.

Here also, the conclusion is data driven, so this is also a statistical question.

Thus, it is seen that all the six questions are statistical questions.
