If every 15^th item is systematically sampled to produce a same size of 90 items, the population has 1,350 items.

To determine the size of the population, we need to reverse engineer the formula: 90 = 15^th Simplifying the equation: 90 = (15)(S+1)(U+1)(P+1)(S+1)(P+0) 90 = (15)(S+1)^2(U+1)(P+1) 6 = (S+1)^2(U+1)(P+1) The only set of integer values that satisfy this equation is S=1, U=1, and P=1. Thus, the population size = (S+1)(U+1)(P+1)(S+1)(P+0) = (2)(2)(2)(2)(1) = 16. Since the information given states that the population has 1,350 items, the statement must be false.
