Twice a year, the P.E. teachers test the fitness level of all sixth-grade students at Walker Middle School. The students' weights and heights are measured as well as the time it takes each student to run a mile and the number of sit-ups and push-ups each student can do.

Which of the following are statistical questions that can be answered by the data gathered in the first fitness test of the year?

How many chin-ups can a sixth-grade boy do?
What are the weights of the sixth-grade boys?
How many sixth-grade students are there?
How many push-ups can a sixth-grade girl do?
What is the shortest height of the sixth-grade students?
What are the heights of the eighth-grade girls?

Answer:

How much do sixth grade boys weigh?

How many push-ups can a sixth grade girl do?

Explanation:

A statistical question is one that has a variable answer.

Determine which questions are statistical questions and can be answered with the data gathered in the fitness test.

The questions "How many sixth grade students are there?" and "What is the shortest height of the sixth grade students?" can be answered with the data gathered in the fitness test. However, they do not have variable answers, so they are not statistical questions.

The questions "What are the heights of the eighth grade girls?" and "How many chin-ups can a sixth grade boy do?" do have variable answers, so they are statistical questions. However, these questions cannot be answered with the data gathered in the fitness test.

The questions "How much do sixth grade boys weigh?" and "How many push-ups can a sixth grade girl do?" do have variable answers, so they are also statistical questions. These questions can be answered with the data gathered in the fitness test.

Hope I helped.
