Question

defining a statistical question
you want to learn about the ferris - wheel riding habits of people, so you ask those leaving a theme park, \how many times did you ride the ferris wheel today?\
is the question a statistical question? explain why or why not.

Explanation:

A statistical question is one that anticipates a variety of answers. Here, different people leaving the theme park will have ridden the Ferris wheel different numbers of times (e.g., some might have ridden \(0\) times, some \(1\) time, some \(2\) times etc.). So, there will be variability in the data collected from answering this question.

Answer:

Yes, it is a statistical question. Because different people will give different answers (there is variability in the data), which is characteristic of a statistical question.
