Abstract
The method of systematic sampling, first studied by the Madows (1944), is used widely in surveys of finite populations. When properly applied, the method picks up any obvious or hidden stratification in the population and thus can be more precise than random sampling. In addition, systematic sampling is implemented easily, thus reducing costs.
