Extracted text: Benford's Law (discovered by astronomer Simon Newcomb, named for physicist Frank Benford) is an observation about large sets of multi-digit numbers. It says that the first digit of a number is more- likely to be a 1 than a 2, more-likely to be 2 than 3, etc. Newcomb modeled this phenomenon by the function p(n) = 100 log,o(1+ which gives the percent of numbers that begin with the digit n. Here, the domain of p is just the set of whole numbers from 1 to 9. According to Benford's Law, about how many times as likely is it for a number to begin with the digit 1 as it is to bęgin with the digit 9? Round your answer to one decimal place. Answer:
