You set up a survey on how people believe the American culture (television, movies, magazines, and popular music) influences illegal drug use. Your survey consists of 2250 adults and adolescents from around the United States. A consumer group petitions you for more information about your survey. Since you designed this study, answer the following questions for them:
a. What type of survey did you use and why? (phone, mail, or interview)
b. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the survey methods you did not use?
c. What data did you collect in your survey? Why did you choose it?
d. What type of scale (nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio) did you use? Why?
e. Which of the methods (stratified, systematic, cluster, or convenience) did you use and why?
