When can a question be called a statistical question?
Yes, see solution.
Let's remember when a question can be called a statistical question.
Statistical Question |
A question for which we do not expect to get a single answer but rather a variety of answers |
In other words, when we ask this type of question, we want to know what the distribution or tendency of answers is. Now let's take a look at the given question.
What are the eye colors of sixth-grade students? |
There are multiple possible eye colors, so we would get a variety of answers to that question. Then we could, for example, describe the distribution of answers to see what eye color is the most popular among sixth-grade students. This means that this is a statistical question.
