Definition (or Partial Definition)
A defined rate of departure from prescribed controls. Also referred to as occurrence rate or exception rate.
A sampling plan for locating at least 1 deviation, providing that the deviation occurs in the population with a
specified frequency.
Also referred to as precision, a measure of the difference between a sample estimate (projection) and the
tolerable rate of deviation or tolerable misstatement at a specified sampling risk.
An estimate of the most likely amount of monetary misstatement in a population.
The complement of the risk of incorrect acceptance.
The maximum population rate of deviations from a prescribed control that the auditors will accept without
modifying the planned assessment of control risk.
The possibility that the assessed level of control risk based on the sample is less…
When using sampling in the study of internal control, the audit team would compare theupper limit rate of deviation to thea. Expected population deviation rate.b. Sample rate of deviation.c. Statistical rate of deviation.d. Tolerable rate of deviation
Each of the following statements contains an error. Describe the error and then correct the statement. (9p)
a. For a symmetric distribution, the mean will be smaller than the median.
b. When taking SRSs from a large population, larger sample sizes will result in larger standard deviations of x.
c. The central limit theorem states that for large n, the shape of the sampling distribution is approximately the shape of the population distribution.

Yes, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is normally distributed for both sample sizes.
