Assume that you have selected a random sample of 15 checks from a population of 800 checks. The checks you have selected are the following numbers: 664, 789, 650, 136, 365, 538, 800, 657, 110, 136, 398, 645, 214, 544, and 777. Based on this sample, evaluate the truth of the following statements regarding your findings. Describe why you feel each statement is true or false.
a. You have determined that Check No. 365 was not properly signed and was paid to a fictitious vendor. You conclude that fraud exists in the population.
b. You have determined that no fraud exists in the sample of 15 checks you evaluated. You conclude that no fraud exists in the population.

- Sample Selection. Read each of the following cases. Explain for each case how you couldselect a sample having the best chance of being representative of the population using(1) unrestricted random selection and (2) systematic random selection. a. You need to select a sample of recorded cash disbursements. The client used two bankaccounts for general disbursements. Account 1 was used during January–August andissued checks numbered 3633–6632. Account 2 was used during May–December andissued checks numbered 0001–6000.b. You need to select a sample of purchase orders. The client issued prenumbered purchaseorders in the sequence 9000–13999. You realize that if you select five-digit random numbersfrom a table and look for numbers in this sequence, 95 percent of the random numbersyou scan will be discards because a table has 100,000 different five-digit randomnumbers.
