You are surveying students to find out their opinion of the quality of food served the school cafeteria. You decide to poll only those students who buy hot lunch on a particular day. Is your sample random? Explain?

No. Your sample should include several days. You'll probably get different answers on pizza day than on mystery meat day.

3- the reporter only talked to people at a baseball game

If you only poll kids who are eating school lunch on a specific day, you don't have a random sample. You haven't talked with anyone who is not eating hot lunch. Perhaps many of them hate the lunch, while those who are eating it like the lunch.
