I would like more insight about how to use the RANDOM=X command.

From what I read:

Is true when a random number between 0 and X equals 0. I.e. random=1 gives a 50% chance of being true, whereas random=100 gives a 1% chance of being true.

Range: X = 1 to anything, although setting above 1,000 will make this conditions very unlikely to be true.

So does that mean random=0 would mean 100% true? How would I make 10%? Would it be something like random=10?

Yes I think so
random=x is the same like a probability of 1/x

Hope this is true
