The first digits of data entries in most real-world data sets are not uniformly distributed. The most common first digit is 1, followed 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?

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following
