Dr. Adams wished to survey the extent of students’ drinking at Big State University in Coors, Colorado. The school has 15,000 students but due to limited resources, he must limit himself to a sample of 1,000 students. To carry out the study, he obtained a list with the name and address of every current student at Big State. He then selected every 15th name on the list and mailed his survey to the 1,000 students selected. 800 students ultimately returned the survey. What was the size of his sampling interval?
