write a statistical question that might have been asked to gather the data. then explain why it is statistical.

Explanation:

A statistical question should have variability in responses. The data is about hours at a water park, so a question like "How many hours did you spend at the water park?" would work. It's statistical because different people will have different answers (4, 5, 6, or 7 hours as per the tally), showing variability.

It is statistical because the responses will vary (people can answer 4, 5, 6, or 7 hours, as seen in the tally), and we can analyze the distribution of these responses.

Answer:

A possible statistical question: "How many hours did you spend at the water park?"
