Looking Out for Number 1
| Division: | International / None | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Chinook Country | | City: | DeWinton, AB | | School: | Red Deer Lake School | | Abstract: | Benford’s Law states that more numbers in the world start with the digit 1 than the digit 2, and more with the digit 2 than with the digit 3, and so on. This project innovatively used Benford’s Law as a test for randomness and concluded that Pick 3 lottery is a totally random, computer random number generator, because it did not follow Benford’s Law. |
