1) Two samples are said to be independent if the observations in one do not depend on the observations in the other. The dependent samples have the observations from the same or related populations. The observations in such samples are usually paired and are collected for the same population or for a related set of units in two different scenarios.  Hence, the sampling method is said to be independent because here the comparison between the participants of two groups is considered. Group 1 is comprised of peaple consuming alcohol and Group 2 is comprised of people not consuming alcohol. The participants of both groups are not related to each other.  Answer: The sampling method is independent.  2) Quantitative variables are numerals like weight and height, and qualitative variables are non-numerals like gender and color. A quantitative variable is a variable that takes a numerical value. A qualitative variable (or categorical variable) is used to classify something.  Hence, the response variable is quantitative in nature because time can take numerical values only.
