A random generator is a column data supplier that generates data randomly inside a range of values.
If you want to extract values from a list at random, you should use the histogram generator with a factor of 1 for each bucket. Example: Tabulify - How to get data from a list of values at random
This generator will generate the values in an uniform distribution.
