Yes it is possible
For the time thing it depends a bit on how you want to define "every 24 hours". You could have it reset at the same time every Minecraft day, after 24000 game ticks which is equivalent to a full day/night cycle without sleeping, after 24000 game ticks but only while the player is online, or after an actual 24 real life hours has elapsed. Which you go with will determine how you check the condition, so can't really make progress there without that decision made.
Either way, whenever that condition is met, you simply run a function that randomly selects between all the available targets, probably via a score, and assigns that score to the player's target score.
To detect if they killed that target, you probably need a player_killed_entity advancement for each possible target, which includes a condition that checks if the player actually has that corresponding target score. If they do, the advancement can be granted when they kill that target, and run a reward function that does whatever you want the reward to be

Unfortunately that doesn't really help me help you
I'm not sure why you were assigned to make a data pack when you don't know how to make data packs, but I'd recommend first starting with our beginner's guide

That'll give you some foundational knowledge, and then you can ask more specific questions about the high-level explanation I gave so I can elaborate on what you don't understand
"I don't understand any of it" doesn't really give me anything to work with

yeah i know the types of files and stuff
but idk how to code it
also how do i even start

By deciding how you want to handle the time...

also second part idk how to do this one
every 10 minutes the hunter gets a ping of how many blocks from the target they are
velvet kelp
the new update releases tommorow
it adds world clocks
that handles your time problem
then
you would tag @r with bounty
then use a seperate world clock to ping the hunter, using a storage or scoreboard you calculate distance and put it in either a title or an actionbar
then upon killing them use an achievement to detect and give a loot table
velvet kelp
yes

Ok
