Cluster sampling

Step-by-step explanation:

To find, which type of sampling used, we first know the definition of cluster sampling.

Definition of cluster sampling:

Cluster sampling is a type of sampling method in which the population is divided into already existing groups or clusters. Then a sample of the cluster is selected randomly from the population.

In this problem, population is high school and sample of the cluster is 6 classes. So, Annie used Cluster sampling in this problem.
