Hi I have a matrix with 2 columns, the first is for 'ID', the second is for 'age'. I want to randomly pick 'n'(e.g. 2) IDs of the matrix and return the IDs and the age of the same row.
Thanks

doc randperm
Then use the output of this as an index into your matrix.
x = magic(10);
idx = randperm(10,2)
x(idx,:)

You are using an old version of MATLAB that does not support that syntax for randperm. Instead use
idx = randperm(size(x,1));
x(idx(1:2),:)
