Data is neither sample nor population. Data are collected for attributes. These can be for a sample or a population.
sample
The FOUR steps to follow in order to design a good sample are: I. Determination of the data to be collected or described II. Determination of the population to be sampled III. Choosing the type of sample IV. Deciding on the sample size
Inferential statistical methods are used when data is collected from a sample in the population. Inferential statistics are used to generalize the results of the sample to the population. In a census you have data from each and every member of the population, so you just use descriptive statistics.
random sample is a big sample and convenience sample is small sample
2-hour postprandial specimen
So that the sample YOU collect can be objectively compared with others collected by different people.
For a postprandial glucose test, you are required to eat 2 hours before a sample of your blood is taken. The results of your postprandial glucose test should be ready in 1-to-2 hours.

Most testing facilities collect between 90 to 120 strands of hair that is taken from the scalp to use as a sample. A 1.5 inch hair sample can detect up to 90 days prior to the date of the test.
You should collect your water sample from at least 18 inches below the surface. After you have collected the sample, you can either test it yourself with a test kit, or take the sample to a business that will test it for you. Usually pet stores like Petco and Pet Supermarket will test your water free of charge.

A sterile container must be used to collect a urine culture for many reasons. The sample collected cannot be tainted with any substance that is being tested for.
A random sample is a sample that is collected without any specific characteristics in mind. For instance, instead of collecting a sample of women or members of a particular age group, they are collected randomly off the streets.
No. Your doctor will write a request form for the lab to test your sample (blood, urine, faces, swab etc). Depending on the test you may need to collect the sample yourself e.g. urine or stool sample. If it is a blood test, you will need to go to phlebotomy at your local hospital to have a sample of blood collected. However, some nurses at your local surgery may do this. For biopsies of skin or complex procedures you may need to attend a specialised clinic to have the sample collected. A prescription is only for medication. Not for a laboratory test.
