Not random sample

You didn't use a random sample of InfoWorld Electric readers though, did you? You could have also asked how many of those surveyed read TV Guide. If 60% of them do, would you be justified in stating "TV Guide readers chose Windows NT?" Of course not, because your random sample was of InfoWorld subscribers, not TV Guide subscribers, and not InfoWorld Electric readers.
