Answer 1

No, I do not expect there to be bias present because the students were chosen *randomly*. Random sampling is a method designed to avoid bias by giving every member of the population (in this case, all students at the school) an equal chance of being selected. While the sample might include students at the extreme ends of the height distribution, this is expected in any sample and doesn't inherently indicate bias as long as the selection process itself was truly random.
