Meghana, you cannot use systematic sampling method to evaluate maximum data associated with population. For this purpose you should use stratified sampling method.

By Raghav V Answered 6 years ago

I agree with Pradeep. You cannot use systematic sampling. It selects elements or individuals and involves the systematically ordered frames that are used for selecting the individuals or the elements. For evaluating maximum data associated with population use stratified sampling. But remember before sampling a prerequisite is required. That is the whole population must be homogeneously assigned into subpopulations, called strata. The disadvantages associated with this method is that there must be similarity in subgroups size and elements.
