Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Sampling Method

The company uses its customer database to randomly select 80 customers. This indicates that every customer in the database has an equal chance of being selected.

Step 2: Compare with Sampling Types
  • Random Sampling: Every individual in the population has an equal chance of being selected.
  • Systematic Sampling: Selection follows a fixed interval (e.g., every 10th customer).
  • Convenience Sampling: Selection is based on ease of access.
  • Stratified Sampling: Population is divided into subgroups (strata), and samples are taken from each subgroup.
  • Cluster Sampling: Population is divided into clusters, and entire clusters are randomly selected.
Step 3: Determine the Correct Sampling Type

Since the selection is random and every customer has an equal chance of being chosen, the sampling method used is random sampling.

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{Random Sampling}}\)

What does the saying "the dose makes the poison" mean? What matters is the amount of a toxic substance present; whether or not we are exposed to the toxin is not relevant. Any amount of a dangerous substance is unacceptable and counting the numbers of compounds detected is a reliable way to establish danger. Most substances are toxic at some level of exposure depending on the substance and the nature of the exposure. All substances have equivalent potential for harm, so exposure to any of them is risky.
