Small expected misstatements
-
A decrease in the tolerable misstatement
-
An increase in the tolerable misstatement
-
An increase in the acceptable risk of incorrect acceptance
In estimating the population misstatement, the first step in projecting from the sample to the population is to:
-
revise the upper error bound.
-
make a point estimate.
-
determine the population mean.
-
calculate the precision interval.

The word below that best explains the relationship between required sample size and the acceptable risk of incorrect acceptance is:
-
inverse.
