Explanation:

Question 1

The question asks for the average number of books read per person in the US yearly. To find this, we need numerical data (the number of books each person reads) to calculate the average. It's a statistical question as it involves analyzing a population (US people) and requires numerical values.

If the question is "How old is your teacher?", it's a non - statistical question because it asks for a single value about one individual, not about a group or requiring data analysis (statistical) or categorical data for a group.

The question asks which book was read most by students in the class. To answer this, we need to categorize the books (categorical data: the names of the books) and count how many times each book was read. It's a statistical question as it involves analyzing a group (class students) and requires categorical data (book names) to determine the most - read book.

Answer:

Statistical question requiring numerical data to answer it because it asks for an average number (numerical) and involves analyzing a group (US people) to find a statistical measure.

Question 2 (Assuming the full question is missing, but let's assume a common example like "How old is your teacher?")
