Marc randomly selects individuals from the list of 1500 using a random number generator, making it a simple random sample. Stratified random sampling involves dividing the population into subgroups and then randomly selecting individuals from each subgroup, systematic random sampling involves selecting individuals at equal intervals from a list, and cluster random sampling involves dividing the population into clusters and then randomly selecting entire clusters to sample from. None of these methods were described in the scenario.
