The SAMPLE Awakens
Survey specialist duck paddles over with a clipboard. We conducted a massive duck survey with thousands of responses! But analyzing all that data would take forever. Can you get a random sample of 50 responses for our quick analysis?
Your task
Get a random sample of 10 survey responses from the duck_surveys table. You will be selecting a subset of the large survey dataset randomly.
Hint
Look for a keyword that allows you to select a random portion of your data.
Expected result
A table showing exactly 10 randomly selected survey responses.
