Q1: Are there any native Mathematica functions for making simple random and partitioned samples in Mathematica version 7?

Abell's _Statistics with Mathematica_ (1998) authors two functions to make simple and stratified random samples:

simpleRandomSample
randomPartition

- for Mathematica Version 3.

Thanks, Kurt

Yes. Execute the following in a fresh cell

?Random*

The result will be a clickable list of functions that give
random elements. One or more of these should do what you need.
