In attributes sampling,a 10% change in which of the following factors normally will have the least effect on the size of a statistical sample?
A) Population size.
B) Tolerable deviation rate.
C) Expected population deviation rate.
D) Standard deviation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sample size in attributes sampling is primarily determined by the tolerable deviation rate and the expected population deviation rate. Population size may affect the sample size in some cases, but a 10% change in population size would have the least effect on the size of the statistical sample, compared to the other factors mentioned. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. The tolerable deviation rate and expected population deviation rate are the two most important factors in determining the sample size, as they impact the level of risk that can be tolerated in the audit. Standard deviation is not relevant to attributes sampling, as it is a measure of dispersion in a continuous data set, rather than a binary attribute such as pass/fail.
