Table 2. Sample US population versus True US population comparison.
26 campaigns with multiple recipients, 29 with “unknown” recipient race, 6 campaigns with unknown recipient age, and 13 campaigns that had multiple recipients were excluded from the table along with non-US campaigns (n = 308) for the US population vs sample population comparison. Source for US population data: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey (2019). A singl e sample two-tailed T-test for means was conducted comparing the real U.S. Black populations to the sample mean for Black recipients (t (19) = 4.41 p = .00001) rather than z statistic due to sample size limitations.
