Answer:

No, its nat a random sample

Explanation:

Its not a random sample because you have already selected two populations (the two largest US cities) which may or may not be representative of the vast majority of the country.

Hope this helps:)

Answer:

If you're timed then I would say,

Yes this is a random study because the problem specifically states that the survey samples were randomly selected from populations.

I think that is the answer! However, if you have time I would wait for another person to answer as well because I'm terrible at statistics :(
