Is there away to genrate random number from a set of numbers

for example 
random number from the set {1,3,4,6,9}

Use RANDI to generate a random integer between 1 and NUMEL of the set, then 
use that random integer as an index.

myset = [1 3 4 6 9];
indices = randi([1 numel(myset)], 10, 10);
values = myset(indices)

one of the many solutions

     s={1,3,4,6,9};     % <- set
     n=5;     % <- # of randomly chosen elements of S
     ix=ceil(5*rand(1,n));
     r=[s{ix}]
%     r = 9     6     3     6     6     % <- current state of RAND...
