Answer:

The eldest of them is Brian and he is 24 + 2 = 26 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Malachy age = a

Brian age = a + 2

Caroline age = a - 8

Total of their age = a + (a + 2) + (a - 8)

66 = a + (a + 2) + (a - 8)

collect like terms

66 = a + a + 2 + a - 8

66 = a + a + a - 6

3a = 66 + 6

3a = 72

divide both sides by 3

a = 72/3

a = 24

Malachy age is 24 . Caroline is 24 - 8 = 16 years old.

The eldest of them is Brian and he is 24 + 2 = 26 years old.

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

No, because the sample was randomly selected.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this example, the main element that we need to focus on is the way in which the sample was determined. We learn that the sample was taken in California with 1000 people. However, this sample was random, and the survey was conducted in both English and Spanish. The fact that this was a random sample means that it is representative of the population. The size of the population does not affect the accuracy of a random sample.
