sample size refers to the collection of data by only a selected size of te population through the process of sample surveys and sampling methods used in collecting data.
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.
The sample size will depend on a number of factors other than the populatoin.These include:the resources (time, money) available for data collection, cleaning and validation, input and storage, and analysis;the implications of getting the answer wrong;the variability of the characteristic that is being measured;whether or not a simple random sample is the best sampling scheme.
The sample size is the number of elements, out of a population, for which some data are measured in order to make assessments about the population.
It increases the effective sample size.

The smaller the sample, the fewer the resources required: in terms of time, cost of data collection, preparation, input and analyses.
Skimmers are pager size data collection devices that cost about $300.

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.
A disadvantage to a large sample size can skew the numbers. It is better to have sample sizes that are appropriate based on the data.

If you are going to make a dress as a prototype the recommended sample size in the US is a size 4. In Europe it's 36.
Similarity: Both are counts of people/animals/things. Difference: Population is the total # of things, while sample is the # of things that you gather data on. If you pick the right sample size, you can be pretty confident that the results of the sample data is the same as the results of the entire population.
The larger the sample size the more confident you can be that the data you have collected is representative of what would happen on a larger scale. So if your results seem to prove your hypothesis right then the larger you sample size the more confident you can be in accepting your hypothesis.
