Answer:
b. tolerable rate
Step-by-step explanation:
A sample is defined as a representative part of a population that is used in a study to replicate the characteristics of the population.
For a sample to be any good it must effectively reflect the characteristics of the population.
When sampling for attributes there are three determinants of sample size that is put into consideration:
- risk of incorrect acceptance
- tolerable rate or error
- expected error
Tolerable rate is the largest deviation or variance that can be acceptable in a sample and this reflects on reliability of specific controls.
It is the allowable deviation in population that still allows original plan to be executed
