Hi,
Look at the Oracle supplied DBMS_RANDOM package.
Alternatively, download the "Random number/ string generator package" script from this site (Scripts -> Pl/SQL Scripts).
Best regards.

Oddly, the documentation does not mention DBMS_RANDOM.VALUE(low,high) which returns a value in the range [[low]] to [[high]], even though this has been available since 8i or earlier. e.g:
SQL> select dbms_random.value(5,10) from dual;
DBMS_RANDOM.VALUE(5,10)
