I have been given a data and asked to state the sampling interval



Heres what I know

The data has a value generated for each month of the year, I have calculated a period of 11 years. Now I know the formula:

2PI/omega = number of samples per period

So will Omega = PI/66

not too sure what you're actually asking here? maybe need to be a little clearer with the question
 
Sorry I think I may have solved what I was asking, after reading it was very unclear:)
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
