I am sorry for asking this stupid question, but i have been running in circles. I want to randomly generate a scaling point of between 1 and 10, for say hundred entries, where the first 10% percent is has rates between 2 and 7, the next 15% 3 and 7, 20% between 3 and 9, 20% between 3 and 10, 35% between 5 and 10. The problem is that i can only generate the usual 100 using runif function

Something like this might work for you:
# set total sample size to greater than or equal to 100
# and mod 0 wrt 100 to preserve the percentages
# here say 200
ss=200

# Create a vector with the desired properties
vector=c(
sample(2:7,ss/10,replace=TRUE),
sample(3:7,ss/15,replace=TRUE),
sample(3:9,ss/20,replace=TRUE),
sample(3:10,ss/20,replace=TRUE),
sample(5:10,ss/10,replace=TRUE))

# print out the vector
vector




 > y<-c(ceiling(10*runif(100)))
y
[1] 10 8 5 2 4 1 6 7 1 6 8 8 8 9 7 7 8 8 2 7 3 10 1 7 1 [26] 10 4 8 8 8 9 3 7 8 4 6 7 2 3 1 9 8 2 6 7 4 8 8 9 7 [51] 6 5 4 1 8 7 9 8 10 5 3 7 5 5 4 4 7 4 10 4 9 1 5 10 10 [76] 5 5 10 7 3 4 4 9 10 6 2 6 6 6 3 8 2 2 4 4 10 6 9 4 3

I just want to try to avoid small numbers as much as possible. I am open to suggestions, please please please.
