    Dear sir,

    Could you tell me whether my understanding about systematic selection is correct?

    The population is about 10 invoices
    I want to look at 5 of them
    So the interval will be 10/5=2
    the random generation shows I should select number 4 invoice as starting point.
    Then the next one will be number 6, etc.
    the selected samples: 4,6,8,10 and 2

    Thanks in advance!!

    Kinda right, though with 10 invoices you would look at all! However, correct in principle.

    Change your figures to be:

    Population = 10,000
    Look at 20
    Look at every 10,000/20 = 500th
    Choose first one at random then count through 500 until the next.

    It seems to me that you are right and that there is an error in that article.
