Explanation:

A census is a data - gathering technique where information is collected from every member of a population. In this study, the National Football League is looking at all league football scores (the entire population of league football scores related to touchdowns and field goals) to determine the scoring events. An experiment involves manipulating variables, sampling is collecting data from a subset of the population, and simulation is creating a model to mimic a situation. Since all scores are being studied, it's a census.
