Data is commonly referred to the quantitative attributes of a variable. A data is nothing but a result of something. Through this result, the information is derived. Sometimes we refer to Raw Data which is unprocessed in nature which can mean a collection of numbers or characters that collect information and then convert from quantities to symbols.

Sample, in statistics can mean a subset of a population. Population can be huge, so the sample can represent just a manageable size. Sample is first collected and then the statistics are derived from the sample. This process is known as Sampling.

What is the size of a sample for a survey?

The population is every data point you intend to generalise the survey results to. The sample frame is those data points that you can pick from for the survey. The sample is which of these data points you actually survey, and the sample size is how many of those data points there are. For instance, if you have 700 students in a school, and you have access to 300 of them, and decide to give 30 of them a survey, the sample size is 30.
