:3. A survey of the attitudes about possible construction of a
nuclear power pllant in an adjacent town is to be carried out in
a city of 200,000 persons in upstate New York.  There is no
up-to-
date list of all the households in this city, and it is too
expensive to construct such a list.  It is expected that
attitudes will be affected by the distance of a household from
the proposed site of the plant.  Which of the following is the
best sample design for this survey? <p>

a.  Stratified, multistage cluster sampling <p>

b.  Multistage cluster sampling <p>

c.  Stratified random sampling <p>

d.  Quota sampling <p>

e.  Simple random sampling
