How many of the three are statistical questions?
A statistical question anticipates variability. Asking how many minutes students spend on homework, and how tall the players are, both ask about a group, so the answers can differ. Asking how many minutes I spent last night asks about one person on one night, so it has one answer. That makes statistical questions.
A student logs five daily page counts: , , , , and . A sixth day with pages read is added to the data set. How does this affect the mean?
