Question 12 • Statistics

Which of the following statements is true about systematic random sampling?

Answer
A
Systematic random sampling catches all patterns present in the population.
B
The starting point can always be the first person seen, as long as the gap between the first and second person is a random number.
C
Systematic random sampling can be used, even if knowledge of the entire population is not known.
D
Systematic random sampling requires a finite population size.

Explanation

Systematic random sampling selects items at a regular interval, usually after choosing a random starting point. You can use it without knowing the full population in advance—for example, selecting every 10th person who arrives. The starting point must be random, so choice A is not correct.
