• Risk of incorrect acceptance = 5%
Which of the following statements would not be true with respect to the sample size in this situation?
A) The correct sample size is 116 customer accounts.
B) Increasing tolerable misstatement from $200,000 to $600,000 (holding all other factors constant) will increase the sample size.
