Answer:False, this is a description of a biased sample

Explanation:

An unbiased sample is the one which will represent the whole population and everyone has an equal chance of being chosen to be in a sample.

For example if you want to investigate how many people use internet in your area and you randomly select individuals within society this means everyone can be selected into this sample but if you only investigate those who have internet then it becomes biased sample. This is because those who don't have internet are no longer represented.
