Answer: Hello there, the sample will be biased, because she only asked to a group of people ( in this case the basketball team)

If you want a random sample, you need to ask people at random, and avoid asking in groups (like sports teams, classmates and groups of friends), for example, a way of doing this is ask at every third student that she sees passing throw the door of the school.
