Explanation / Answer

WE can make a random sample using the SURVEYSELECT Procedure. This procedure provides various types of methods for choosing probability base random sample. It includes
various type of sampling that includes:
1) random sampling
2) stratified sampling
3) systematic sampling

We can use following query in the software to get the random sample:

proc surveyselect data=Sales 3
out=random_sample
method=src
samprate = 0.1
run;

Here in the above command, data is the input dataset
out is the output dataset
method is selectiong method
samprate is proportion of observation

The specific values that should be selected are 4, 13, 27, 986
