Auditors must make judgments about various aspects of an audit on the basis of their own direct experience, indirect experience, or a combination of the two. In a study, auditors were asked to make judgments about the frequency of errors to be found in an audit. The judgments by the auditors were then compared to the actual results. The data are contained in the Excel Online file below. Suppose the data were obtained from a similar study; lower scores indicate better judgments.

Auditors must make judgments about various aspects of an audit on the basis of their own direct experience, indirect experience, or a combination of the two. In a study, auditors were asked to make judgments about the frequency of errors to be found in an audit. The judgments by the auditors were then compared to the actual results. Suppose the following data were obtained from a similar study; lower scores indicate better judgments. $egin{array}{ccc} ext { Direct } & ext { Indirect } & ext { Combination } \ 17.0 & 16.6 & 25.2 \ 18.5 & 22.2 & 24.0 \ 15.8 & 20.5 & 21.5 \ 18.2 & 18.3 & 26.8 \ 20.2 & 24.2 & 27.5 \ 16.0 & 19.8 & 25.8 \ 13.3 & 21.2 & 24.2end{array}$ Use $alpha=.05$ to test to see whether the basis for the judgment affects the quality of the judgment.

Read the overview below and complete the activities that follow. Auditors must gather a combination of many types of audit evidence to best reduce their audit risk. There are seven major types of audit evidence: 1) accounting information system, 2) documentary evidence, 3) third-party representation, 4) physical evidence, 5) computations, 6) data interrelationships, and 7) client representations. Concept Review: Audit evidence is any information that corroborates or refutes the auditors' premise that the financial statements present fairly the client's financial position and operating results.

Several factors are involved in the creation of a confidence interval. Among them are the sample size, the level of confidence, and the margin of error. Which statements are true? a) For a given sample size, higher confidence means a smaller margin of error. b) For a specified confidence level, larger samples provide smaller margins of error. c) For a fixed margin of error, larger samples provide greater confidence. d) For a given confidence level, halving the margin of error requires a sample twice as large.
