    You want to conduct a survey in your city about what people like to do in their free time. You ask every other person in line at the football game.


    Is this a random sample?

    Yes, this is random and unbiased because most people like football.

    No, this is not random and shows bias because football isn't the only thing people do in their free time and does not represent the population of the city.
