Knowing that you need a sample pool of 1019 students to ultimately get about 500 students in your sample, you are in a position to draw a systematic sample from the student directory at your university. Further, 9,500 students are listed in the directory. What is the sampling interval? Interpret your results. Show all your work.

Sampling interval = 9.323

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Population size, N = 9500

Require sample, n = 1019

Sampling interval :

Population size / required sample size

Sampling interval = 9500 / 1019 = 9.3228

Interpretation :

In other to obtain a sample of 1019 drawn systematically from the population, a sample will be drawn at every 9.323 units from the population of 9500
