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

Systematic random sampling selects members at a fixed interval, usually after choosing a random starting point. It can be carried out without knowing every member of the population in advance, as long as there is a way to identify and reach the sample members. It does not necessarily catch all population patterns, and the starting point should be chosen randomly rather than simply being the first person seen.
