In statistics, the sample refers to a subset of individuals or observations taken from a larger population. The population is the entire group of individuals or observations that the sample is drawn from. So in this context, S represents the sample and P represents the population.

Both statements are correct. The sample (S) represents the smaller group of interest that is taken from the population (P), which is the larger group. This distinction is important in statistics, as conclusions or inferences made from the sample need to be generalized to the larger population.
