The human resource department at a certain company wants to conduct a survey regarding worker benefits. The department has an alphabetical list of all 6517 employees at the company and wants to conduct a systematic sample of size 70  what is k?

K is defined as the number of elements in the population that will be skipped in between picks, and it must remain constant for the whole sample selection process. If someone taking a sample decides that the sample begins with one and every 50th element thereafter will be drawn as part of the sample, k is 50. The sampler will pull or test 1,51, 101, 151, and so on, until reaching the end of the group.
