answer, write an explanation immediately after every item.
Explanation: The keyword is “Census”. The word “Census” means a complete
enumeration of a population or groups at a point in time with respect to well defined
characteristics. Therefore, the individuals in the given statement are referring to the
people living in the US in the year 2000.

2. Determine whether the variable is categorical or quantitative?

but not a quantitative variable because it is not quantifiable. On the other hand, family
size and annual income are quantitative variables because the numerical values are
quantifiable.

3. Which of the following information represents a sample or the population?
Explanation: The statement “h” is an example of a sample and not a population because
about 2,000 millennials are the only militaries who passed among all the military
trainees in Tanzania. Remember, a sample is a part of the population from which we
actually collect information, which is then used to draw conclusions about the whole.
The size of the sample is always less than the total size of the population.
__✓__f. About 3,000 adults is a sample of person interviewed in their homes

upon the genius level of one’s I.Q. In this case, the higher the genius level of one's I.Q.,
the more academic achievements.
