Sample[ <List L>, <Size n> ]: Returns list of n randomly chosen elements of L; elements can be chosen more times.
Sample[ <List L>, <Size n>, <Boolean for replacement> ]: Returns list of n randomly chosen elements of L. Elements can be chosen more times if and only if the last parameter is true.; Example:
Sample[{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, 5, true] yields for example {2, 3, 3, 4, 5}.

Sample[ <List L>, <Size n> ]: Returns list of n randomly chosen elements of L; elements can be chosen several times.
Sample[ <List L>, <Size n>, <Boolean for replacement> ]: Returns list of n randomly chosen elements of L. Elements can be chosen several times if and only if the last parameter is true.; Example:
The list can include lists as well: Let List1 be {1, 2, 3}. Sample[{List1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}, 3, false] yields for example {6, {1, 2, 3}, 4}.
