Question
There are $40$ flats in a multi—storied apartment. $5$ flats are to be selected using systematic sampling from $40$ flats for decoration in a cultural program. Explain how the sample can be selected ?

Answer

Here, total number of flats is $40$ i.e. $N = 40$ and we have to select $5$ flats i.e. $n = 5.$
So, the sampling interval $k = N/n = 40/5 = 8$.
Now, every 8th flat will be selected after randomly selecting one flat from flat number $1$ to $8$.
Suppose flat number $3$ is selected from first $8$ flats then flats with following numbers are selected:
$3,11,19,27,35.$
