How to select samples in R

Question

How to select 100 size samples n = 10, without replacement, using a population of N = 1000?

My population:

set.seed(1234)
x <- rnorm(1000, mean = 100, sd = 20)

Answer 1

You can use replicate + sample with replace false:

a <- replicate(100, sample(x = x, size = 10, replace = F))

The replicate will replicate the number of times you stipulate the function within it. In this case it will replicate 100 times the sample function.
