Statistical Questions and Characteristics

The video tutorial introduces the concept of statistical questions, which are questions with more than one possible answer, indicating variability. It explains that questions with only one possible answer are not statistical. A practice problem involving questions about a class trip to an aquarium is presented, and viewers are asked to identify which questions are statistical. The video analyzes each question, explaining why some are factual and others are statistical, based on the variability of answers. The tutorial concludes by summarizing the key points about identifying statistical questions.
