Answer:

See below for answers and explanation

Explanation:

A statistical question has variability in collecting the data, and doesn't have one definitive answer:

Question 1: How many of Mrs. Malone's students earned an A for the first nine weeks? This is not a statistical question because you can narrow down exactly how many.

Question 2: How many students missed question #5 on Mrs. Malone's math test yesterday? This is not a statistical question because you can easily take all the worksheets done on the math test and find an exact number.

Question 3: How many of Mrs Malone's students turn in their homework each day? This is a statistical question because not every student will consistently turn in their homework each day, so there will be variability while collecting that data.

Hence, Question 3 is a statistical question
