Classify the questions as statistical or not statistical. How many dogs do the people in my neighborhood own? How many seeds are there in each orange growing in Sally’s orchard? How many dogs do I have? How many oranges did Sally eat last month? How many hours do I spend on extracurricular activities each week? How many hours do the children in my neighborhood spend doing extracurricular activities per week?

old question but will respond so this can be closed a statistical question is not a simple 1-number answer based on 1 point of data. it requires data collection and analysis. for example, "How many dogs do the people in my neighborhood own?" is a good statistical question because it requires you to take a sample of neighbors, ask how many dogs they own, and extrapolate that to the whole neighborhood. (alternatively you could ask everyone in the neighborhood, but this method is not commonly used unless the population is very small) "How many dogs do I have?" is not a statistical question because it simply requires you to take 1 data point (counting the # of dogs in one household). go through the other answer choices, applying similar logic. reference: https://study.com/academy/lesson/statistical-vs-non-statistical-questions.html#:~:text=The%20first%20type%20is%20the,more%20than%20one%20possible%20answer.&text=The%20second%20type%20is%20the,that%20only%20has%20one%20answer.
