What does unrepresentative mean?

"Unrepresentative" means not accurately reflecting or reflecting a biased view of a larger group or population. It implies a lack of fairness in representation.

Here's a breakdown:

* "Un" means not.

* "Representative" refers to something that accurately reflects the characteristics of a larger group.

Here are some examples of how "unrepresentative" might be used:

* "The survey results were unrepresentative because they only included people from one particular city." This means the survey didn't capture the views of the wider population.

* "The movie's cast is unrepresentative of the real-world diversity of the city." This means the movie doesn't show a realistic representation of the city's inhabitants.

* "The government's decision was made by an unrepresentative group of politicians." This implies that the decision was made by a small group of people whose views don't reflect the majority of the population.

Essentially, "unrepresentative" describes something that doesn't provide a fair or accurate portrayal of the whole.
