Choice "A" is correct. Population size is not an issue in determining a sample size, provided the population is relatively large (i.e., greater than 5,000 items).
Choice "b" is incorrect. The expected population deviation rate will have a direct impact on the sample size.
Choice "d" is incorrect. Although the population size may have a direct relationship with the sample size, it generally will not be in exact proportion.
Choice "c" is incorrect. As the tolerable deviation rate increases, the sample size will decrease.
