Given that:
- The department has an alphabetical list of all 4924 employees at the company.
- The department wants to conduct a systematic sample of size 60.
a. Knowing that the size of the systematic sample is 60, and knowing the total number of employees, you can determine that:
[tex]k=\frac{4924}{60}\approx82[/tex]b. Since you randomly select this number from 1 to "k":
[tex]11[/tex]You have to select every 82th person (given by the value of "k"). You need to start with person number 11 and end with the person number:
[tex](82)(60-1)=4838[/tex]Then, you can create this systematic sample:
