Which of the following does not represent a difference between the use of various approaches to classical variables sampling?
A) The use of mean-per-unit estimation typically results in a larger standard deviation than the use of either difference estimation or ratio estimation.
B) The use of difference and ratio estimation normally provides smaller sample sizes than the use of mean-per-unit estimation.
C) The use of difference and ratio estimation require the auditor to expect a certain number of differences to exist in the population while the use of mean-per-unit estimation does not.
D) The use of mean-per-unit estimation requires a reliable measure of recorded value while the use of difference and ratio estimation do not.

All of the other answer choices represent differences between the approaches to classical variables sampling. Option D, however, is not a difference. The use of mean-per-unit estimation and difference/ratio estimation both require reliable measures of recorded values in order to ensure accurate sampling results.
