"Benford's law, also known as the Newcomb$$Benford law, the law of anomalous numbers, or the first$-$digit law, is an observation that in many real$-$life sets of numerical dataLinks to an external site., the leading digitLinks to an external site. is likely to be small.$[1]$Links to an external site. In sets that obey the law, the number $1$ appears as the leading significant digit about $30\%$ of the time, while $9$ appears as the leading significant digit less than $5\%$ of the time. Uniformly distributed digits would each occur about $11\mathrm{.}1\%$ of the time.$[2]$Links to an external site. Benford's law also makes predictions about the distribution of second digits, third digits, digit combinations, and so on$."$
