A. The sample is not random because the interviewer only interviewed boys playing football. This means that the sample only includes students who prefer football, and might not be representative of the entire student population at the school.
B. The question is fair because it asks the students to state their favorite sport to play, and does not suggest or influence their answer in any way. However, if the survey methodology only included interviewing boys playing football, the question is biased because it only represents the preferences of students who play football and not the entire student population.
