Explanation

java.util is the correct package because it contains utility classes like Random, ArrayList, Scanner, and Date - general-purpose tools for everyday programming tasks. java.io handles input/output operations like file reading and streams, not random number generation. java.math provides classes for high-precision arithmetic (BigDecimal, BigInteger), not general utilities. java.lang is automatically imported and contains core classes like String, Math, and Object, but not Random.

Memory tip: Think "util = utility belt" - java.util is your Swiss Army knife for common tools. If you need something practical that doesn't fit neatly into I/O, math precision, or core language features, it's almost certainly in java.util.
