Generating a random number from an already given n values

Hallo,
Given n values e.g x=[ 1 3 4 6 7] I want to be able to generate one amongst them randomly every time I call up a custom function. Is there a way this can be accomplished with the rand function? I have tried reading rand help doc and can't make much out of it. Will really appreciate an answer.

Try this:
randomX = x(randi(length(x)))
