Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hand selection by the auditor can introduce personal bias and undermine the randomness of the sample. Therefore, it is not an efficient way to obtain PPS samples. Choices B, C, and D are all efficient methods to obtain PPS samples. Computer software can generate random samples quickly and accurately. Random number tables provide a systematic and unbiased method of selecting samples. Systematic sampling techniques also provide an efficient method to obtain PPS samples.
