A random question is not a question type as such, but is a way of inserting a randomly-chosen question from a specified category into a quiz.
This means that different students are likely to get a different selection of questions, and when a quiz allows multiple attempts then each attempt is likely to contain a new selection of questions.
Please note that random questions are always chosed from the latest 'Ready' version of the question that matches the filter condition.
You should always keep in mind that Moodle always adds random questions as worth 1 mark, as described in the forum discussion Quiz Questions Default Marks - Strange Behavior.
