Introduction:
Sampling is a very important technique in statistics for determination of some decision. In sampling, we select some items from a group of items to make out some decision for all the items.Basic precision is the maximum amount of errors estimated by the auditor.
To choose:Select the correct option.

Which one of the sentences below is FALSE?
A.
The risk of incorrect acceptance called beta risk has the consequence that the auditor may assume that the population is free of material misstatement.
B.
The risk of incorrect rejection is called alpha risk and has the consequence that the auditor may assume on the basis of sample results that a population is materially misstated when, in fact, it is not .
C.
The risk of incorrect acceptance is called beta risk.
D.
The risk of incorrect rejection very common in audit sampling is called beta risk.
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
When using monetary unit sampling, a population is accepted as being materially correct when the:
Tolerable misstatement is greater than the upper limit on misstatement.
Incremental allowance is less than the upper limit on misstatement.
Projected misstatement is less than the upper limit on misstatement.
Basic precision is greater than the projected misstatement.
