A=[3818.36,7632.40,11446.44,15260.48,19074.52];
B=[657.15,1089.15,1521.15,1953.15,2385.15];
vals = zeros(1,length(A));
for i = 1:length(A)
idx = randperm(2,1);
if idx == 1
vals(i) = A(i);
else
vals(i) = B(i);
end
end
disp(vals)

idx = randperm(10,5);
C = [A, B];
selectedNums = C(idx);
or to be a little more generic and avoid ugly hard-coded numbers that can be taken from the data instead:
C = [A, B];
idx = randperm(numel(C),5);
selectedNums = C(idx);

A=[3818.36,7632.40,11446.44,15260.48,19074.52]; B=[657.15,1089.15,1521.15,1953.15,2385.15];
Adam i need one value from each index of A&B justlike on index 1, I need 3818.36 or 657.15, and from index2 i need 7632.40 0r 1089.15 but your suggested code is giving 5 values from all values of A&B please hlep
