Identify the factors an auditor uses to decide the appropriateARO. Compare the sample size for an ARO of 10% with that of 5%, all other factorsbeing equal.
Suppose you're given a data set that classifies each sample unit into one of four categories: A, B, C,
the data as A = 1, B=2, C = 3, and D=4. Are the data consisting of the classifications A, B, C, and D
or quantitative?
Are the data consisting of the classifications A, B, C, and D qualitiative or quantitative?
OA. Qualitative, because they are measured on a naturally occuring numerical scale.
B. Quantitative, because they are measured on a naturally occuring numerical scale.
C. Quantitative, because they can only be classified into categories.
D. Qualitative, because they can only be classified into categories.
***
After the data are input as 1, 2, 3, or 4, are they qualitative or quantitative?
OA. Qualitative, because they cannot be meaningfully added, subtracted, multiplied, or divided.
B. Qualitative, because they are measured on a naturally occurring numerical scale.
OC. Quantitative, because they are measured on a naturally occurring numerical scale.
OD. Quantitative, because…
When the auditor goes through a population and selects items for the sample without regard to their size, source, or other distinguishing characteristics, it is called
Block selection\
Haphazard selection
Random selection
Systematic selection
