try this

<script type="text/javascript">

//generate random number
var randomnumber=Math.floor(Math.random()*$("#container").children().length);
$(function() {
    //hide all the images (if not already done)
    $("#container > img").hide();

    //set timeout for image to appear (set at 500ms)
    setTimeout(function(){
       //fade in the random index of the image collection
       $("#container > img:eq(" + randomnumber + ")").fadeIn();
    }, 500);       
});
</script>
