        Extract 3 random elements from the ``Series`` ``df['num_legs']``:
        Note that we use `random_state` to ensure the reproducibility of
        the examples.

        >>> df['num_legs'].sample(n=3, random_state=1)

        A random 50% sample of the ``DataFrame`` with replacement:

        >>> df.sample(frac=0.5, replace=True, random_state=1)
              num_legs  num_wings  num_specimen_seen

        An upsample sample of the ``DataFrame`` with replacement:
        Note that `replace` parameter has to be `True` for `frac` parameter > 1.

        >>> df.sample(frac=2, replace=True, random_state=1)
                num_legs  num_wings  num_specimen_seen

        Using a DataFrame column as weights. Rows with larger value in the
        `num_specimen_seen` column are more likely to be sampled.

        >>> df.sample(n=2, weights='num_specimen_seen', random_state=1)
