Systematic Random Sampling 3
• In systematic random sampling, the researcher first
randomly picks the first item or subject from the
population. Then, the researcher will select each n'th
subject from the list.
• The procedure involved in systematic random sampling
is very easy and can be done manually. The results are
representative of the population unless certain
characteristics of the population are repeated for every
n'th individual, which is highly unlikely.

Systematic Random Sampling 4
• The process of obtaining the systematic sample is much like an
arithmetic progression.
• Starting number:
The researcher selects an integer that must be less than the total
number of individuals in the population. This integer will correspond
to the first subject.
• Interval:
The researcher picks another integer which will serve as the
constant difference between any two consecutive numbers in the
progression.The integer is typically selected so that the researcher
obtains the correct sample size
Systematic Random Sampling 5
• For example, the researcher has a
population total of 100 individuals and
need 12 subjects. He first picks his
starting number, 5.
• Then the researcher picks his interval, 8.
The members of his sample will be
individuals 5, 13, 21, 29, 37, 45, 53, 61,
69, 77, 85, 93.
