More or less. All I know about maths dates back to my university years, when I was a student of science. Now I am forgetting a lot of notions, but I mostly retain the method

do it, I'll look at it and see if I can understand anything
On a side note:
I see you like random variables as much as I do
I guess you're currently using pseudo-random numbers coming from an uniform distribution, since most programming languages got quick functions for generating them. Nevertheless normal distribution is by far the most common distribution as far as physics and natural events are concerned. Have you ever thought of using it?
There are some methods for converting "uniform" random numbers into "normal" ones. For example, here's a really easy method for doing it:

In this example, the mean (Mu) would be the result of your formula before randomization, while you should choose wisely a realistic standard deviation value (Sigma) based on the amount of variation from the mean you want for the event you try to simulate.
Another conversion method, a bit more complex:
