Aren't the description of the two processing algorithms in the user 
manual [1] [2] and in the of any help for you?

Anyway, AFAIK the "Random points in polygons" is an old Python 
algorithm, while the "Random points in polygons" is a new C++ one. The 
description given by the author of the latter, may give you more details 
[3].

Best regards.
