Example 1: python select random subset from numpy array

fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'orange', 'grape']
subset_size = int(0.7 * len(fruits))
np.random.choice(fruits, subset_size, replace=False)
# array(['grape', 'banana'], dtype='<U6')

Example 2: numpy random choice

>>> np.random.choice(5, 3, p=[0.1, 0, 0.3, 0.6, 0])
array([3, 3, 0])
