Is there a way to pass arguments to getrandomnumber() function?

    

\startluacode

      local mathrandom = math.random

      local context    = context

      document.get_random_number = function (min,max,delta)

        context ("%0.1f", mathrandom (min, max) / decimal)

      end

    \stopluacode

    \def \getrandomnumber#1#2#3 {\ctxluacode {document.get_random_number (#1,#2,#3)}}

    \starttext

      \bTABLE

        \bTR \bTD Distance (cm)          \eTD \bTD $\Delta t$ (s) \eTD \eTR

        \bTR \bTD[nr=3] \getrandomnumber{34,56,10} \eTD \bTD t1             \eTD \eTR

        \bTR                                  \bTD t2             \eTD \eTR

        \bTR                                  \bTD t3             \eTD \eTR

      \eTABLE

    \stoptext

just wrap the code in a macro. Lua code needs a different catcode
regime and expansion rules that don’t cooperate well with the
table scanner. E.g.

    \startluacode
      local mathrandom = math.random
      local context    = context
      document.get_random_number = function ()
        context ("%0.1f", mathrandom (400, 600) / 10)
      end
    \stopluacode

    \def \getrandomnumber {\ctxluacode {document.get_random_number ()}}

    \starttext

      \bTABLE
        \bTR \bTD Distance (cm)          \eTD \bTD $\Delta t$ (s) \eTD \eTR

        \bTR \bTD[nr=3] \getrandomnumber \eTD \bTD t1             \eTD \eTR

        \bTR                                  \bTD t2             \eTD \eTR
        \bTR                                  \bTD t3             \eTD \eTR
      \eTABLE
    \stoptext

Hth,
Philipp
