A trade group for liquor retailers put
out a press release with an alarming headline:
“Millions of Kids Buy Internet Alcohol,
Landmark Survey Reveals.”
The announcement,
from the Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America
received wide
media attention. On NBC's Today
Show, Lea Thompson said, “According to a new
online
survey, one in 10 teenagers have an
underage friend who has ordered beer, wine or
liquor over the internet. More than a third
think they can easily do it and nearly
half
think they won't get caught.” Several newspapers
mentioned the study,
including USA Today and
the Record of New Jersey. The news even made
Australia's
Gold Coast Bulletin.
Are
millions of kids really buying booze online？ To
arrive at that jarring headline,
the group
used some questionable logic to pump up results
from a survey that was
already tilted in favor
of finding a large number of online buyer.
For starters, consider the source. The trade
group that commissioned the survey
has long
fought efforts to expand online sales of alcohol;
its members are local
distributors who compete
with online liquor sellers. Some of the news
coverage
pointed out that conflict of
interest, though reports didn't delve more deeply
into
how the numbers were computed.
The Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America
hired Teenage Research Unlimited, a
research
company, to design the study. Teenage Research, in
turn, hired San Diego
polling firm Luth
Research to put the questions to 1,001 people
between the ages
of 14 and 20in an online
survey. Luth gets people to participate in its
surveys
in part by advertising them online and
offering small cash awards—typically less
than
$$ 5 for short surveys.
People who agree
to participate in online surveys are, by
definition, internet users,
something
that not all teens are. （Also, people who
actually take the time to
complete such
surveys may be more likely to be active, or heavy
internet users. ）
It's safe to say that kids
who use the internet regularly are more likely to
shop
online than those who don't. Teenage
Research Unlimited told me it weighted the
survey results to adjust for age, sex,
ethnicity and geography of respondents, but
had no way to adjust for degree of internet
usage.
Regardless, the survey found that,
after weighting, just 2.1 points of the 1,001
respondents bought alcohol online—compared,
with 56 points who had consumed
alcohol.
Making the questionable assumption that their
sample was representative
of all Americans
aged 14 to 20 with access to the internet—and not
just those with
the time and inclination to
participate in online surveys—the researchers
concluded that 551,000 were buying alcohol
online.
But that falls far short of the
reported “millions of kids”. To justify that
headline,
the wholesalers' group focused on
another part of the survey that asked respondents
if they knew a teen who had purchased alcohol
online. Some 12 points said they did.
Of
course, it's ridiculous to extrapolate from a
state like that—one buyer could
be known by
many people, and it's impossible to measure
overlap. Consider a high
school of 1,000
students, with 20 who have bought booze on line
and 100 who know
about the purchases. If 100
of the school's students are surveyed at random,
you'd
expect to find two who have bought and
10 who know someone who has—but that still
represents only two buyers, not 10．（Not to
mention the fact that thinking you know
someone who has ordered beer online is quite
different from ordering a six pack
yourself. ）
Karen Gravois Elliott, a spokeswoman for
the wholesalers' group, told me, “The
numbers
are real,” but referred questions about
methodology to Teenage Research.
When I asked
her about the potential problems of conducting the
survey online, she
said the medium was a
strength of the survey: “We specifically wanted to
look at
the teenage online population.”
Nahme Chokeir, a vice president of client
service for San Diego-based Luth Research
Inc., told me that some of his online panel
comes from word of mouth, which wouldn't
necessarily skew toward heavy internet users.
He added that some clients design
surveys to
screen respondents by online usage, though Teenage
Research didn't.
I asked Michael Wood, a
vice president at Teenage Research who worked on
the survey，
whether one could say, as the
liquor trade group did, that millions of teenagers
had bought alcohol online. “You can't,” he
replied, adding, “This is their press
release.”
41．Which of the following
is the message that this passage is trying to
convey？
A．The severe social
consequences of kids buying alcohol online.
B．The hidden drawback of the American
educational system.
C．The influence of
wide coverage of news media.
D．The
problems in statistic methodology in social
survey.
42．According to the author, what
is wrong with the report about kids buying
alcohol？
A．It is unethical to offer cash
awards to subjects of survey.
B．The
numbers in this report were falsified.
C．
The samples and statistic methods were not used
logically.
D．The study designers and
survey conductors were bribed.
43．Which
of the following words is closest in meaning to
the word “extrapolate”
in paragraph 8？
A．Conduct. B． Infer. C．Deduct.
D．Whittle.
44．By saying “To justify that
headline, the wholesalers' group focused on
another
part of the survey that asked
respondents if they knew a teen who had purchased
alcohol online”, the author implies that
______.
A．it is absurd to conduct a
survey among teenagers
B．the ways the
wholesalers' group conducted surveys are
statistically questionable
C．this kinds
of survey is preliminary, therefore undependable
D．teenagers might not be honest since
buying alcohol online is an indecent behavior
45．Which of the following is more likely to be
the source for problems in this
survey？
A．This survey is tilted in favor of local
alcohol distributors, who have a conflict
of
interest with online sellers.
B．The data
collection and analysis are not scientific and
logical.
C．Subjects are not sampled in a
right way and can not represent the whole American
teenage population.
D．The
survey results are affected by gifts to subjects,
which can be misleading.
