Question
Chapter 8, Problem 25MCQ
To determine
Introduction:A Tolerable misstatement is the amount which exist in the financial statements but the impact of it is so small that it will not affect the whole meaning of the entire Accounting results.
To choose: The minimum size of sample, which an auditor should see.

S1: Mean per unit estimation is a classical variable sampling technique that projects the sample average to the total population by multiplying the sample average by the number of items in the population. S2: The more the auditor is relying on other substantive procedures to reduce to an acceptable level the detection risk regarding a particular population, the less assurance the auditor will require from sampling, and the smaller the sample size can be.
a. BOTH STATEMENTS ARE TRUE
b. BOTH STATEMENTS ARE FALSE
c. ONLY S1 IS TRUE
d. ONLY S2 IS TRUE

Can you conclude that the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is approximately normally distributed for both sample sizes? Yes, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is normally distributed for both sample sizes. No, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is not normally distributed for either sample size. No, only the sample proportion with n = 20 will have a normal distribution. No, only the sample proportion with n = 58 will have a normal distribution. c.
