In situations where it is not possible to number all the units in a population, systematic sampling is a good alternative as it is an approximate random sampling method. It involves selecting every 'kth' unit from a list or sequence of the population, with 'k' being determined by the population size and the desired sample size. This method ensures that every unit has an equal chance of being selected and eliminated the potential bias that may be present in non-probability sampling methods.
