Answer / Kanhaiya Lal

In a 1-in-100 systematic sample, each address has a 1/100 chance of being selected. Since the sample size is 5, the probability of choosing a specific address is (1/100)^5 = 0.00000000032 or 0.0000032%. Therefore, the chance that any specific address will be chosen is very low.
