Question:
An antique collector wants to know the age of a particular chair in a shop.
Determine whether the question is a statistical question. If it is a statistical question, identify the units for the answer
Answer:
Not statistical
Explanation:
A statistical question is one to which there are more than one answer or where the answer varies such that one does not expect to receive a single answer response to the question from all the people polled, rather a variety of response is sought from which one can understand the statistical distribution, tendencies and parameters of the population. An example of a statistical question is "What is the size of corn harvested in the current season?" The answer to the previous question varies, hence it is statistical
An example of a not statistical question is "what is the name of the head teacher of a particular school?".The answer to the previous question will be the same from all respondents.
