A population is defined as the data set which consists of all members of a specified group and the sample contains a part or a subset of a population.

For example : all the students of a school are population. But out of all, how many students play sports is a sample.

Hence, the answer is - A population is the complete group under study. A sample is the sub-collection of members of the population from which data are actually collected.
