SpletBenford’s law (also called the first digit law) states that the leading digits in a collection of data sets are probably going to be small. For example, most numbers in a set (about 30%) will have a leading digit of 1, when the expected probability is 11.1% (i.e. one out of nine digits). This is followed by about 17.5% starting with a number 2. SpletThe approximation is sometimes called the law of small numbers because it approximates the distribution of the number of successes when the chance of success is small: you only expect a small number of successes. As an example, here is the binomial \((1000, 2/1000)\) distribution. Note that \(1000\) is large, \(2/1000\) is pretty small, and ... Spletlaw of small numbers.
