Explanation:

A statistical question is one that anticipates variability in the data and requires collecting data to answer.

• Option a: Asks about the class's usual number of songs, expecting variability (different days may have different numbers), so it's statistical.
• Option b: Asks about a specific event (yesterday's rain at a specific location), which has a single answer, not statistical.
• Option c: Asks about a single person's today's songs, single answer, not statistical.
• Option d: Is a why - question about preference, not about data with variability, not statistical.
• Option e: Is a factual question with a single answer, not statistical.
• Option f: Asks about the typical rainfall in June (across years or samples), expecting variability, so it's statistical.
• Option g: Asks about the typical time for 2nd graders (different students may have different times), expecting variability, so it's statistical.
