Convenience sample
A group of randomly selected subjects for a study that represents the population based on important characteristics such as age and sex is called a "sample." This sample should ideally reflect the demographics of the larger population to ensure that the study's findings are valid and generalizable. Proper sampling techniques help minimize bias and enhance the reliability of the study results.
The Decennial Census is actually two Censuses taken concurrently Census of Population (1790-present) counts numbers of persons and selected social & economic characteristics, the Census of Housing (1940-present) counts numbers of residential units and selected physical & financial characteristics. The Constitution states:

sample
A finite number of all objects selected from a population refers to a specific, countable subset of the entire population. This selection can be achieved through various sampling methods, such as random sampling or stratified sampling. The key characteristic is that the number of selected objects is limited and predetermined, allowing for precise analysis or study of the chosen sample while still representing the broader population.
Demographics, or demographic data, are selected population characteristics used in government, marketing or opinion research, or the demographic profiles used in such research.
Sample-a small group selected by researchers to represent the most important characteristics of an entire population. (according to my book)
Usually we are interested in the characteristics of large populations of items or people. It would often prove costly or impossible to measure these characteristics for the entire population. We therefore measure them for a carefully selected sample of the population and attempt to make scientific inferences about the entire population from the characteristics of the sample.
Individuals are selected, but in the population of organisms there are many variations, some better at survival and reproduction than others, and against the immediate environment, what natural selection really is, these beneficial variations will be selected.
A subset of measurements from a population is a smaller group of data points selected from the entire group of data points in the population. This subset is chosen to represent the overall characteristics of the larger population and is used for analysis or inference about the population as a whole.
This type of natural selection is called stabilizing selection because the mean traits of the population are being selected for against the immediate environment.

sample
A sample is a randomly-selected group chosen to represent a larger population for research or analysis. Sampling aims to provide insight into the characteristics and behaviors of the entire population based on the traits observed in the sample. It is an essential method in statistics and research to draw conclusions about a larger group based on a subset of its members.
