5. If 18 customers out of 30 prefer coffee, we can find the ratio that will be used to estimate how many customers out of 200 will prefer coffee. We can do this by dividing 18 by 30 to give us 0.6. Then, we multiply 200 by 0.6 to give us 120. Therefore, the answer is 120. 

6. No, your sample is not random, as you are only asking how the food is for students that only buy hot lunches. If it was random, you'd be asking any student how the food is, not just specifically one group of people.
