I don't know if this answers your question (because I don't know how
to sample and ensure a particular distribution of the subsample) but
any random sample of a normal population should approximate
normality as the sample size grows, so you could take a random
sample:

Hello,
I'm sorry if this question is pretty trivial, but I
couldn't find a solution online (maybe it's because I'm
not asking in the right way).
I have a data set of N values that follow a normal
distribution. I would like to sample this data set,
creating a subset of N/10 values following as well the
normal distribution. How to do that in PSPP?
(I'm using PSPP 0.10.2 on Mint 18.3.)
Thank you!
Elisa
