Statistical questions

Target: Identify a question that anticipates variability.

Language target: Contrast one fixed answer with many answers.

Likely miss: Students call any question statistical if it contains a number.

Ask: Could two people give different answers?

If you see it: A statistical question expects variability, not one fixed answer.

Evidence to listen for: The student sorts questions by whether the answers can vary.

Next: Rewrite a fixed question so it asks about a group.
