Statistical vs Non-Statistical Questions
What is the fundamental difference between a statistical question and a non-statistical question?
What is the fundamental difference between a statistical question and a non-statistical question?
DISTINCTION
- Statistical Question: A question that expects a variety of answers (variability) and requires collecting and analysing data to reach a conclusion (e.g., 'How tall are Grade 7 students?').
- Non-Statistical Question: A question that has a single, fixed, factual answer with no variability (e.g., 'What is the price of a tennis ball in India?').

Statistical = Spread of answers; Non-Statistical = No spread.

DEFINITION

- Point 2: It is mathematically expressed in terms of numerical values, proportions, probabilities, averages, or predictions (e.g., 'The population reduced by 100 in the last decade.').
