A magazine article cited the numbers on household income in Berea, KY as given by the U.S. Census Bureau. Was a sample or the population used?
-----
Although the Census attempts to collect data from every individual family
unit it does not succeed in doing it. Still a Census is considered as having
provided parameters of a population.

Congress refuses to authorize random sampling because the Founding
Fathers did not state that in the Constitution. Oh Well!
