Explanation:

Step1: Define Statistical Question

A statistical question is one that anticipates variability in the data and requires data collection and analysis to answer, often involving "typical," "usually," or a range of values.

Step2: Analyze Each Option

• Option A: Asks for the typical rainfall in June (Galapagos), which involves analyzing multiple data points (variability in rainfall over years/years' Junes), so it's statistical.
• Option B: Asks about yesterday's rainfall (a single value, no variability), not statistical.
• Option C: Asks for a reason (opinion, not numerical data with variability), not statistical.
• Option D: Asks "usually" (implies variability in daily song counts), requires analyzing multiple days' data, statistical.
• Option E: Asks about today (a single value, no variability), not statistical.
• Option F: Asks for a fact (capital, no variability), not statistical.
• Option G: Asks "typically" (implies variability in 2nd graders' lap times), requires analyzing multiple students' times, statistical.
