Individuals are selected from a

list by taking every nth number in

the list
Is a probability sampling method where the elements
are chosen from a target population by selecting a
random starting point and selecting other members
after a fixed ‘sampling interval’

Sampling interval is calculated by dividing the entire

population size by the desired sample size

Entire population size

Desired sample size
EXAMPLE 1:
In the province of Marcelo Spinola School there
are 800 students, these 800 students are listed in
an alphabetical order. In this kind of sample, you
select the sample for every 10th count. So student
10 is your sample number 1 , student 20 is
sample number 2, student 30 is sample number 3,
so on so fort.
EXAMPLE 2:
A total number of 150 Spinolanians are gathered
in the MPCC for the love drive distribution because
of the large number the Principal, Sr. Jesnen,
decided that only 50 of them could join. As the
school implementing fairness, Sr. Jesnen used
System sampling to choose fairly. So, she assigned
a number to each student(1-150) and get the
sampling interval as a basis in choosing fairly the
50 students.
Entire population size: 150 students
Desired sample size: 50 students

Sampling Interval=Entire population size

Desired sample size
=150
50
=3
Sample 1 Student 3
Sample 2 Student 6
Sample 3 Student 9
Sample 4 Student 12
Sample 5 Student 15
Sample 6 Student 18
And so on…
EXAMPLE 3:
in Grade 12-Mo. Belen there were 32 students
in total but their adviser, Teacher Jeldon, only
need 4 to be a representatives for Chalk Art. In
believing his students’ capacity, he find it
difficult because for him all of them are
deserving. So, he decided to use the system
sampling in choosing the representatives equally.
