    Question

    A salesperson obtained a systematic sample of size 25 from a list of 500 clients. To do so, he randomly selected a number from 1 to 20, obtaining the number 13. He included in the sample the 13th client on the list and every 20th client thereafter. List the numbers that correspond to the 25 clients selected.

    Answer:

    13, 33, 53, ... 393

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The Question is making reference to arithmetic progression

    Where the first term is 13

    And the difference between each interval is 20 (i. e number of clients)

    Using the following formula, well obtained the client in any position

    Tn = a + (n - 1) d

    Where Tn = nth term

    a = T1 = 1st term = 13

    n = number of terms = 1 to 25

    d = common difference = 20

    Calculating T2

    T2 = 13 + (2 - 1) * 20

    T2 = 13 + 20

    T2 = 33

    Calculating T3

    T3 = 13 + (3 - 1) * 20

    T3 = 53

    ...

    Calculating the 20th term

    T3 = 13 + (20 - 1) * 20

    T20 = 393
