So Random number will give number from 0.0 to 1.0 .
* 10 means 0 to leass then 10.
Then +1 means 1 to less the 11 ( means 10.999)
You can simply execute the same code in Developer console and Workbench to see the result.

Math.random() is a random number generator. It returns any random decimal number between 0.0 to less than 0.1.
Now (10 * Math.random()) gives some double numbers between 0 - 10. so 10*Math.random()+1 gives 1 - 10.9.
Hope it helps.
