The sampling technique described is simple random sampling, where each individual has an equal chance of being selected and the selection is made completely at random. Systematic sampling involves selecting individuals at regular intervals from a list or ordered sampling frame, cluster sampling involves selecting groups of individuals who share some characteristic, cross-tabulation sampling is not a recognized sampling technique, and a census involves collecting data from every individual in a population rather than selecting a sample.
