Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Grouping Criterion

The population is divided into smaller groups or subgroups based on dormitory. This could be based on geographical location, class, age group, etc.

Step 2: Determine the Selection Method within Groups

Units within these groups are selected using a random method.

Step 3: Assess the Selection Unit and Number of Units Selected

Understanding whether a few members (10 per group) from each group are selected, suggesting a stratified sampling approach if the selection within groups is random.

Step 4: Evaluate the Number of Groups

The number of groups chosen is multiple, and whether they are chosen randomly or systematically can influence the identification of the sampling technique.

Final Answer: The sampling technique used is likely Stratified Sampling.
