Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
By dividing the population size by the desired sample size, the researcher establishes the sampling interval, which is the standard distance between the selected elements: 196 (first element) + 250 (sample interval) = 446 (second element). 396, 450, and 646 are incorrect responses.

Answer to Question 2

C
