1. **State the problem:** Determine if each question is a statistical question.
2. **Definition:** A statistical question is one where the answer involves more than one data value, meaning it requires collecting data from multiple individuals or instances.
3. **Analyze each situation:**
- (a) Ann asked ninety people in Boston, "What is your mass in kilograms?" Since Ann asked multiple people, this is a statistical question.
- (b) Yolanda asked Alan, "How many hours of sleep did you get last night?" Only one person is asked, so this is not a statistical question.
- (c) Latoya asked a person in her town, "How many phone calls did you make yesterday?" Only one person is asked, so this is not a statistical question.
- (d) Bob asked several of his friends, "How many glasses of water did you drink yesterday?" Multiple people are asked, so this is a statistical question.
- (e) Joe asked his classmates, "What was the amount of money that you spent on food last week?" Multiple people are asked, so this is a statistical question.
4. **Summary:**
(a) Yes
(b) No
(c) No
(d) Yes
(e) Yes
This is because statistical questions require data from multiple sources to analyze variability or patterns.
