17
Q

Number of exceptions in the sample divided by the sample size

A

Sample Exception Rate (SER)

18
Q

A frequency distribution of the results of all possible samples of a specified size that could be obtained from a population containing some specific parameters

A

Sampling distribution

19
Q

Risk of reaching an incorrect conclusion inherent in tests of less than the entire population because the sample is not representative of the population; may be reduced through an increase of sample size

A

Sampling Risk

20
Q

The use of mathematical measurement techniques to calculate formal statistical results and quantify sampling risk

A

Statistical Sampling

21
Q

A probabilistic method of sampling where the auditor calculates an interval and selects the items for the sample based on the size of the interval and a randomly selected starting point between zero and the length of the number

A

Systematic Sample Selection

22
Q

The exception rate that the auditor will permit in the population and still be willing to conclude the control is operating effectively and the amount of monetary misstatements in the transaction established during planning is acceptable

A

Tolerable Exception Rate (TER)

23
Q

Advantages to random sample

A

All items have an equal chance of being picked.

24
Q

Disadvantages to random sample

A

Possibility of choosing all low number invoices.

25
Q

Advantages to systematic sample selection

A

The ease of use.

26
Q

Disadvantages to systematic sample selection

A

The possibility of bias, since once the first item is selected, the rest of the samples are selected.

27
Q

Advantages to Haphazard sample selection

A

Equal chance of being picked and being unbiased.

28
Q

Disadvantages to Haphazard sample selection

A

The difficulty of remaining completely unbiased throughout the entire process.

29
Q

Advantages to Block sample selection

A

Quick and easy.

30
Q

Disadvantages to Block sample selection

A

Not random and less likely to get a mix of samples.

31
Q

Probabilistic Sample Selection Methods

A

Random Sample and Systematic Sample Selection

32
Q

Nonprobabilistic Sample Selection Methods

A

Haphazard Sample Selection and Block Sample Selection
