Image shown for entry if relevant and present

An area to sample is evenly divided up into a number that represents the number of samples to be investigated. Using an example 10,000m² area and with 50 samples being required then each division would be 200m². The first (initial) sampling point is located randomly, with all subsequent points being located at an equal irregular interval from the others.
