_____3. At Amira’s pizza shop, they open a fresh batch of pizza sauce for every 10th pizza they make. Amira decides she wants to take a
sample of pizzas in a given day and evaluate their overall quality. Her shop makes approximately 150 pizzas per day, and she doesn’t
want to sample more pizzas for time’s sake. Amira decides to use systematic random samples where she’ll evaluate every k th pizza
made that day. Why might Amira choose k = 17, instead of k = 10?
