Rather than focus on the non deterministic random sampling, frame it as a programming language or library for manipulating and fitting statistical distributions.
An HTTP library is good for making web calls. A probabilistic program is good for estimating probabilities.
One example would be polling. You could write down a program that estimates votes from political polls. Then feed it polling data and get estimates of how people will vote.
