a. 10.3%. The auditor is 95% confident that the real error rate in the population is no greater than 10.3%.
b. 10.3%. The auditor is 95% confident that the real error rate in the population is no greater than 5%.
c. 5%. The auditor is 92% confident that the real error rate in the population is no greater than 10.3%.
d. 5%. The auditor is 92% confident that the real error rate in the population is no greater than 5%.

The risk of overreliance is 5%, EDR is 2, TRD is 5, and the number of deviations found is 2. The auditor should:
Group of answer choices
Conclude that controls are not operating effectively.
Conclude that controls are operating effectively.
Conclude that tolerable misstatement has been exceeded.
Conclude that CR<DR.
S1: Mean per unit estimation is a classical variable sampling technique that projects the sample average to the total population by multiplying the sample average by the number of items in the population. S2: The more the auditor is relying on other substantive procedures to reduce to an acceptable level the detection risk regarding a particular population, the less assurance the auditor will require from sampling, and the smaller the sample size can be.
a. BOTH STATEMENTS ARE TRUE
b. BOTH STATEMENTS ARE FALSE
c. ONLY S1 IS TRUE
d. ONLY S2 IS TRUE
Which of the following statements is not true if the precision interval for a sampling risk of 10 percent ranges from 60 to 70?a. A 10 percent probability exists that the true population value is less than 60 or more than 70.b. A 90 percent probability exists that the true population value is less than 60 or more than 70.c. The reliability is 90 percent.d. The precision is 5.
