8. Before school begins, a teacher at a large high school is assigned the task of selecting students for a locker search. She decides to choose a random number from 1 to 10 and select a total of 30 students based on that choice.

b. Systematic sampling
c. Convenience sampling
d. Cluster sampling
e. Stratified random sampling
