Based on the properties of probability distributions of functions of random variables, we proposed earlier a simple stringy mechanism that prefers the meta-stable vacua with a small cosmological constant Lambda. As an illustration of this approach, we study in this paper particularly simple but non-trivial models of the Kahler uplift in the large volume flux compactification scenario in Type IIB string theory, where all parameters introduced in the model are treated either as fixed constants motivated by physics, or as random variables with some given uniform probability distributions. We determine the value w_0 of the superpotential W_0 at the supersymmetric minima, and find that the resulting probability distribution P(w_0) peaks at w_0=0; furthermore, this peaking behavior strengthens as the number of complex structure moduli increases. The resulting probability distribution P(Lambda) for meta-stable vacua also peaks as Lambda -> 0, for both positive and negative Lambda. This peaking/divergent behavior of P(Lambda) strengthens as the number of moduli increases. In some scenarios for Lambda > 0, the likely value of Lambda decreases exponentially as the number of moduli increases. The light cosmological moduli issue accompanying a very small Lambda is also mentioned.
