Answer:

Convenience sampling

Step-by-step explanation:

When sampling is done based in degree of ease or samples picked from observations that are easily accessible rather than prioritizing randomness or selection which will most be representative of the population, then such sampling is called convenience sampling. In some texts, it is also referred to as grab sampling as researchers choose from close, easy to reach samples. In the scenario above, the quality control takes the easy procedure of checking the first and last 10 motorcycles as this is easier than having to take samples at random tune intervals which will be a better representation of the entire motorcycles.
