Are "portray" and "represent" synonyms?
Yes, and No.
"Portray" implies the totality of the population.
"Represent" implies a subset of the population.
However, "portray" can imply a subset of a subset of a population.
On the other hand, literary aesthetics decrees that words should not be
repeated, hence words with similar meanings can be used as synonyms,
even when they aren't.
Going only by the strings you wrote, I'd suggest replacing everything
with "are numerical arguments representing the population (sample)",
with the word in parenthesis being included, or excluded, as appropriate.
