Question

decide if each question is statistical or nonstatistical.

what is your favorite sport?
what is noyas favorite book?
how far away do you live from your school?

Explanation:

A statistical question anticipates a variety of answers and aims to gather data about a group. A non - statistical question has a single, definite answer.

• "How many hours did Rahul sleep last night?" has a single answer (e.g., 7 hours). So it's non - statistical.
• "What is your favorite sport?" can have many different answers (e.g., football, basketball, tennis etc.). So it's statistical.
• "What is Noya's favorite book?" has a single answer (e.g., To Kill a Mockingbird). So it's non - statistical.
• "How far away do you live from your school?" can have multiple answers (e.g., 1 mile, 2 miles, 0.5 miles etc.). So it's statistical.
