The way that you use it the rando generates values between 0(a[1]) and the value of bbb, which is from 1 to 12, so you will have random values 4, 6, 7, 2,

To have only 0 or 10, the elements in the A array use this:

(
	for bbb = 1 to 12 do
	(
		a=#(0,0,0,0,0,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10)
		print a[( random 1 a[bbb])]
	)
)

The random generated value must be used as index of the A array, so do not use a[1], because it is 0 and maxscript array are 1-based.
