Using the population of 50 states in Example 14-1, select a systematic sample of 10 states.

Example 14-1

Suppose a researcher wants to produce a television show featuring in-depth interviews with state governors on the subject of capital punishment. Because of time constraints, the 60 -minute program will have room for only 10 governors. The researcher wishes to select the governors at random. Select a random sample of 10 states from 50.
