Question

Determine whether or not the following question can be considered as a statistical question.

Answer 1

Answer: Yes

Explanation:

Statistical questions are characterized by possessing inherent variability within the data that will be used to answer the question.

In this question, there is variability because there is a name is mentioned out of a particular class (Men or fundraisers); therefore, it's a statistical question

Answer 2

The situation would come as follows: "During the school fundraiser, did freshman raise more money than seniors?"

The question can only be answered with a yes or no, but it will be done to many first-year students. Which does generate statistics, since it gives the ability to have an inherent variability in the data used to answer the question.

That is, each student will raise a different amount of money. Some first-year students will most likely raise more money than some seniors, and some seniors will raise more than some first-year students.

Therefore, YES is a statistical question.
