I have an R data frame my_measurements (which is a subsample of a much larger 10k+-row data frame) that looks like this:
> glimpse(my_measurements)
Observations: 300
Variables: 2
$ measurement_id <int> 2, 27, 36, 39, 41, 44, 118, 121, 125, 127, 132, 134, 148...
$ value <dbl> 0.9746835, 1.0000000, 1.0000000, 1.0000000, 1.0000000, 0...
Here is the dput(my_measurements) output:

Where measurement_id is just a unique identifier for each measurement, and value is the measurement itself (which happens to be between 0 and 1, but doesn't imply a probabilistic meaning and in other scenarios can be any number).
I made a ggplot() of the density distribution of the values like this:
ggplot(data = my_measurements) +
geom_density(mapping = aes(x = value, ..density..))
Which looks like this:
As you can see, values range from 0 to 1, but a lot of them are close to 1.
My question is: How can I use the curve in the plot as a probability density function (I hope I am using the right term, if not please correct me!) to draw random samples from???
Ideally, I'd like to create a function that gives me a random number between 0 and 1 where the probability is a function of that curve. In one possible embodiment, the function would take two arguments: one is a vector containing, in this case, all the values from my_measurements; the second being the number of random numbers to pick. The return value would be a vector of the numbers drawn from that distribution.
So, when I run this function against the my_measurements dataset, there is a high chance that it will return numbers close to 1, and a very low chance of returning 0.25 (the lowest point in the curve).
Hope this makes sense, thank you very much for your help.
