Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Systematic sampling is a probability sampling method where researchers select members of the population at a regular interval – for example, by selecting every 15th person on a list of the population. If the population is in a random order, this can imitate the benefits of simple random sampling.
Detailed explanation-2: -To perform systematic sampling, a sample size from a population must be determined. Then the nth value can be calculated. For example, if the population size is 10, 000 and the target sample size is 100, then every 10, 000/100 = 100 participants should be chosen. 100 is the nth value.
