Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the Sampling Method Described

The marketing company selected the man by choosing every 5000th person in the phone number listings. This indicates a fixed interval selection process.

Step 2: Compare with Sampling Types
  • Random sampling: Involves selecting individuals entirely by chance, with no specific pattern or interval.
  • Systematic sampling: Involves selecting individuals at regular intervals (e.g., every 5000th person).
  • Convenience sampling: Involves selecting individuals who are easily accessible or available.
  • Stratified sampling: Involves dividing the population into subgroups (strata) and then randomly selecting individuals from each subgroup.
  • Cluster sampling: Involves dividing the population into clusters and then randomly selecting entire clusters for sampling.
Step 3: Identify the Correct Sampling Type

Since the selection process involves a fixed interval (every 5000th person), the method used is systematic sampling.

Final Answer

The correct answer is B.
