In a probability proportional to size (PPS) sample, all population physical audit units with an amount equal to or greater than the amount of the interval will automatically be included in the sample if the auditor uses:
A) stratified selection.
B) block selection.
C) systematic selection.
D) random selection.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a probability proportional to size (PPS) sampling method, when systematic selection is used, each unit's probability of selection is proportional to its size relative to the total. By setting an interval amount and selecting units systematically based on their size, any unit with an amount equal to or greater than the interval amount will automatically be included in the sample. This is because the selection interval, which is determined based on the total amount divided by the sample size, ensures that larger units are selected at least once when the systematic selection process is applied.
