Randomly assign the students to desks, and number the students 01–36. Use a random number table to generate a sample of students.
Randomly assign the students to desks. Number the rows 1 to 6. Use a random number table to select a number from 1 to 6, then survey every student in that row.
List all of the students alphabetically. Survey the 2nd person (with the number 2 being randomly chosen), then survey every 5th student after that.
List all of the students alphabetically. Survey 1 randomly chosen student whose last name begins with A, then continue the process through the alphabet.

The option that uses cluster sampling is:
Randomly assign the students to desks. Number the rows 1 to 6. Use a random number table to select a number from 1 to 6, then survey every student in that row.
This method divides the students into clusters based on their rows and then surveys all the students within the randomly selected cluster.
