Question

A researcher wants to select 50 clients from a population of 250 clients who have purchased at least $100,000 worth of products from their company within the past year using a systematic sampling technique. After a random starting point, the researcher should select every ______ client on the list.

Answer 1

5th

Step-by-step explanation:

Systematic sampling is a method of sampling probability in which samples are being selected from a larger population after picking a starting point at a fixed, periodic interval known as the sampling interval. The sampling interval is calculated by dividing the population size by the desired sample size.

Since they are 250 clients and we need to select 50 clients using systematic sampling. After a random starting point has been chosen the researcher should select every 5th client(250 / 50) on the list.
