Frank Benford, an American physicist and statistician, is best known for Benford's Law, which states that in many naturally occurring datasets, the leading digit is more likely to be a small number. Specifically, about 30% of the numbers in such sets will have "1" as the first digit, while smaller percentages will appear as the leading digits subsequently, decreasing all the way down to about 4.6% for "9".
