Stratified random sampling.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Statistics, Stratified random sampling can be defined as a method of sampling that involves dividing a population into smaller groups known as strata.

In stratified random sampling, the strata are formed based on member's shared characteristics (e. g female or male, occupation, education) or attribute (e. g black or white).

Tambra needed 60% females and 45% White participants to appropriately represent the gender and ethnicity groups in her data. Hence, she is interested in stratified random sampling type.
