Explanation:

A random sample selects participants without a targeted pattern, and an unbiased sample represents the entire community. Mikayla only chose the first 25 parents dropping off actors, which is a non-random, convenience sample. This sample does not represent the full 5,000 community members (it excludes non-parents, people not at the rehearsal, etc.), so it is biased.

Answer:

nonrandom and biased
