Question

suppose the size of a population is n = 2000 and the sample size desired is n = 13. what value of k should be used to obtain a systematic sample from this population?
k = \square
(round down to the nearest whole number as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate k via population/sample size

$k = \frac{N}{n} = \frac{2000}{13}$

Step2: Round down to whole number

$\frac{2000}{13} \approx 153.85$, round down to 153

Answer:

153
