Using this table - or the full dataset - write three questions of each type below.

  • Lookup - Answered by only reading the table, no further calculations are necessary!

  • Arithmetic - Answered by doing calculations (comparing, averaging, totalling, etc.) with values from one single column.

  • Statistical - Best asked with "in general" attached, because the answer isn’t black and white. If we ask "are dogs heavier than cats?", we know that not every dog is heavier than every cat! We just want to know if it is generally true or generally false!
