Question

Tim and Jenna are surveying their classmates about their summer reading. Their questions are given below: Tim: How many books recommended by the book reading club would you actually buy? Jenna: Which book was first recommended to be read by the book club during the summer break? Who wrote a statistical question and why?

Answer 1

Tim wrote a statistical question because he is trying to figure out how many books were read in total. Jenna just wanted to know what the first book on the list was.

Answer 2

Answer:

Tim wrote a statistical question

Step-by-step explanation:

Tim's question can be divided into two parts;

1) It is obvious from Tim's question that several books were recommended

2) He also hints that not all the books will be bought by asking "how many would you actually buy?" This means not all the books will be read

We can conclude that Tim's question can help determine know how many books would be read for the summer.

Meanwhile, Jenna's question only seeks to know the title of a book, this does not tell us if the book would be bought and does not tell us if the book would be read.
