Question 14 of 15

Answer 1

Answer:

A statistical question Len could ask is "How tall is a red kangaroo?"

Step-by-step explanation:

A statistical question is something that we can ask and test hypotheses about using collected data. There will not be a specific answer, but rather multiple answers and we can average them in a sampling distribution.

Let's examine each question:

"How tall is a red kangaroo?"

• There is not a specific height for each kangaroo, so we can take the averages of many different samples and find the "true mean" in the sampling distribution. This is a good example of a statistical question because data can be collected on red kangaroos and means can be calculated.

"Are there red kangaroos in Asia?"

"Are red kangaroos an endangered species?"

What is the tallest red kangaroo ever recorded?"

• These are all examples of non-statistical questions. They are "yes" or "no" questions, and we cannot take multiple samples to determine the answer. Rather, there is a single answer that we do not need to test hypotheses or perform any statistical calculations.
