An auditor is applying statistical sampling for attributes to the testing of extensions of 1000 line items on sales invoices.A deviation is defined as an extension mistake on a line (i.e. line #39 quantity of 10 and unit price of $100 is calculated as $900).
The auditor decides to use a 10% Risk of Overreliance, a Tolerable Deviation Rate of 6%, and an expected population deviation rate of 2%.
Assume the following deviation condition exists in the population (the auditor would not know this):
Line #Amount of deviation overstated (understated)
