I don't know to do this question
String[] sports = { "Basketball", "Baseball", "Tennis" };
String bestSport = "";
Random randomGenerator = new Random();
int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(sports.length);
bestSport = sports[0];

If you're still stuck I will leave the solution below:
String[] sports = { "Basketball", "Baseball", "Tennis" };
String bestSport = sports[0];
int numberOfSports = sports.length;
String lastSport = sports[2];

You start with an array of Strings. The question is Create a new String variable named bestSport and set its value it to be the first element of the sports array.
That's:
String bestSport = sports[0];
Next up, Declare (AKA create) an int variable named numberOfSports and set it to the number of elements in the array using the array's length property.
int numberOfSports = sports.length;
Lastly, Declare a String variable named lastSport and set it to be the last element of the sports array. Now, you could just access sports[2] because you know how many elements are in the array. Alternatively, you can use the numberOfSports variable like this:
String lastSport = sports[numberOfSports - 1];
Let me kow how you get on.
Steve.
