Answer #1

Confidence interval for parameters of the population is obtained from the sample. In other words, sample is drawn from population and using the sample mean and sample standard deviation we obtain the confidence interval for parameters. But since in census there is complete enumeration, we have exact values so there is no need for calculating confidence interval.
