set random_app to item (random number from 1 to length of the_apps) of the_apps

This seems to work:

tell application "System Events"
	set the_apps to every application process whose visible is true
	set random_app to some item of the_apps
	set frontmost of random_app to true
end tell

yes, but Michelle also remembered the "tell application (name of process)" trick; her solution is better still
