Question

Identify the misuse or misrepresentation of statistics:
“60% of all college students watch less than 2 hours of television per day.” This conclusion was reached by a college student after she had questioned 520 randomly selected students exiting the library. What is wrong with her survey?
Biased sample. If students spend much of their time in the library, wouldn't that leave less time to watch TV?
