unbiased.

Those that are being selected are a random choice. Meaning there is no influence in what their response is.

A biased response would be if you went to a local restaurant like Olive Garden and asked each of the customers what their favorite local restaurant is. This is biased because the chances of the customers' saying "Olive Garden" is high because that's where they are.

I don't think it's biased at all if it's a random study.
