Subsequently, select every 27th application until a sample of 30 applications is selected, going back to the front of the list if necessary. Alternatively (only applicable if k is an integer), List the applications in some order and divide the applications into 30 groups of 27 each. Randomly select a number from 1 to 27, e.g. 5, and pick the 5 th application in each of the 30 groups. B1 for every 2 points: List applications in a certain order Randomly select first application Select every 27th application thereafter Go back to the front of the list if necessary 6 (ii) A systematic random sample may not ensure that all categories of loan applicatio ns were processed within that day if the sampling interval coincides with a cyclic pattern in the list of applications. B1 – Disadvantage of a systematic random sample 6 (iii) Stratified random sampling ensures that each category of loan is proportionately represented in the sample. B1 – Advantage of stratified random sample (answer in context) Total : 4 marks
