Question

how is the statistical investigative process used?
select one
to solve problems where data is not available
to tackle problems where there is both data and variation
to answer questions by looking up records in a data table
to solve math problems with variables

Explanation:

The statistical investigative process involves collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data. It is used when there is data available (so the first option is wrong). Looking up records in a data table is a simple data - retrieval task, not an investigative process. Solving math problems with variables is more of an algebraic or general math task. The statistical investigative process is designed for problems where there is data (to collect and analyze) and variation (to study patterns and relationships in the data).

Answer:

To tackle problems where there is both data and variation
