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 anticipates a variety of answers (data with variability) to analyze. The question about Ferris - wheel rides at a theme park will get different responses (e.g., 0, 1, 2, etc. times) from different people leaving the park, as people's riding habits vary. So it is a statistical question.

Answer:

Yes, it is a statistical question. Because it will collect data (number of Ferris - wheel rides) that has variability (different people will have different numbers of rides).
