Abstract
Motivated by a recently observed bias in products of two prime numbers with congruence conditions by Dummit, Granville and Kisilevsky, we try to observe some bias in the distribution of integers which are product of two distinct primes taken from Beatty sequences with each one is in an arithmetic progression.
