What makes a question a statistical question?

No, 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 response but rather a range of responses.

In other words, when we ask this type of question, we want to know the distribution or tendency of responses. Let's take a look at the given question.

How much does it cost for a ticket to ride the subway from Station A to Station B?

There is only one correct answer to that question because the cost for a subway ticket between two chosen station is constant at a particular moment in time. This means that this is not a statistical question.
