- roberto 7y agoWhat about Benford's Law?
- harryh 7y agoBenford's concerns the first digit, not the last digit.
- ComputerGuru 7y agoExcept in a distribution that doesn’t go past one digit, of course (no, really, it isn’t that rare to be able to apply Benford’s irl to sequences that don’t go past ten). But, yeah, not applicable in this case.
- ridaj 7y agoDue to the distribution of people's age towards the "old" end of the scale, I'd guess that this is more likely to be 0 than 9?
- roberto 7y agoYeah, I'm curious to look at data, but I think this will be skewed towards lower digits.
