#

efficiently do randomly take samples from a list to form a sublist according to some distribution function (distinct)

say p(x)=T*exp(-x/T) where T is a constant and p(x) is the probability density function

take 500 from 550 items

can items be taken multiple times = can there be duplicates in the output? (I'd guess no)
"sublist" is a commonly found function in programming, so do you mean a continuous section? (I'd guess no)
