Chapter 1.2, Problem 6P

Interpretation A campus performance series features plays, music groups, dance troops, and stand-up comedy. The committee responsible for selecting the performance groups include three students chosen at random from a pool of volunteers. This year the 30 volunteers came from a variety of majors. However, the three students for the committee were all music majors. Does this fact indicate there was bias in the selection process and that the selection process was not random? Explain.
