A statistical question is a question that can be answered using data that may vary. Any question that may be answered by a single number or answer is not considered a statistical question.

idk

You are partially correct. The correct answers are A), B), and C).

A) "What time of the day do my friends eat their biggest meal?" is a statistical question because it asks for data on a specific variable (time of day) from a group of individuals (Dan's friends).

B) "How many times each week do my friends eat out?" is also a statistical question because it asks for numeric data (frequency) from multiple people (Dan's friends) regarding their eating habits.

C) "What types of foods do my friends prefer?" is a statistical question as it seeks information about categorical data (food preferences) from a group (Dan's friends).

On the other hand, D) "Does Thomas like to eat out?" and E) "What is George's favorite food?" are not statistical questions. They focus on individual preferences or opinions rather than gathering data about a group of individuals.

I disagree.
