I am watching all videos again right now and come to this question. We have a facts array as a String, and we have randomNumber as int. Why Android did not show mistake in this case? Because they are incompatible data types, right? Or I do not know something here?

An Array can hold many different types of Objects. For example:
//Array of Integers
int[] intArray = {1, 2, 3, 4};
//Array of Strings
String[] stringArray = {"Hello", "Goodbye", "Good morning"};
Arrays use index's to be able to get the data in a certain location in the array. No matter what the type of array to access the data based on the index we need to pass in a integer.
//Array of Integers
int[] intArray = {1, 2, 3, 4};
//Array of Strings
String[] stringArray = {"Hello", "Goodbye", "Good morning"};
stringArray[0]; // This would give us the String "Hello"
stringArray[1]; // This would give us the String "Goodbye"
string Array[2]; // This would give us the String "Good morning"
Hope this helps!
