The form of the distribution function, N(q), of the mass ratios of stars in binary systems is studied using the sample of 132 SB1s and 32 SB2s collected by Griffin et al. (1988). The results suggest that differences in the form of the distribution function are influenced more by the choice of systems included in a sample than by the methods of analysis. For spectroscopic binaries, the single most important aspect of choosing the sample is the relative weight assigned to SB1s and SB2s.
