One of Carla's friends suggests that she survey only eighth-graders because they are the

oldest and probably know more about the election than younger students. Do you think
this suggestion creates a random sample? Explain.

Answer:

This example is not a random example due to the fact that it is only questioning the eighth-graders. Random sample means that the sample is chosen simply randomly and everyone has an equal opportunity to be apart of the sampling.
