Answer:
The census is a systematic method that collects and records the data about the members of the population. The sampling is defined as the subset of the population selected to represent the entire group, in all its characteristics.
The census is alternately known as a complete enumeration survey method. In contrast, sampling is also known as a partial enumeration survey method.
In the census, each and every unit of population is researched. On the contrary, only a handful of items is selected from the population for research.
Census, is a very time-consuming method of survey, whereas, in the case of sampling, the survey does not take much time.
The census method requires high capital investment as it involves the research and collection of all the values of the population. Unlike sampling which is a comparatively economical method.
The results drawn by conducting a census is accurate and reliable while there are chances of errors in the results drawn from the sample.
The size of the sample determines the probability of errors in the outcome, i.e. the larger the size of population the less are the chances of errors and the smaller the size; the higher are the chances of errors. This is not possible with census as all the items are taken into consideration.
Census is best suited for the population of heterogeneous nature. As opposed to sampling which is appropriate for homogeneous nature.
