The first digits of data entries in most real-world data sets are not uniformly distributed. The most common first digit is 1, f
ollowed by 2, and so on, with 9 being the least common first digit. This phenomenon is known as Benford's Law.
The table below is the probability distribution for Benford's Law where the random variable D represents the first digit in a data entry.
What is the probability that a randomly selected data entry has a first digit greater than 7?
