Answer:

The Answer is Question 3

Explanation:

A statistical question is something that could be graphed in a histogram or table, such as colors or sports different kids like. A non-statistical question results in just one answer, such as what one person's favorite color is. It cannot be compared to other data as there is no other data.

In Question 1 it is asking what each person in our class had. This is collecting data from different sources (students) and it will not result in just one answer. It is asking about multiple people. Therefore, question 1 is statistical.

In Question 2 it is also asking what multiple kids ate. Therefore question 2 is statistical as well.

In Question 3 it is only asking what Maria is having for lunch. It could not be compared to others or put in a histogram or table because we do not know what any other kids ate. Therefore, question 3 is not statistical.

Question 4 is also referring to multiple people, so question 4 is statistical.

Question 3 is non-statistical.

AND,YES I'M SURE
