5. Suppose that you are reading through back-issues of the New York Times and record every number that appears in the articles (someone's salary, the cost of the new drones bought by the government, the number of refugees on the border, etc.). Let X be the leading digit of a randomly selected number from the articles (so X takes values between 1 and 9). Surprisingly, empirical evidence suggests that X is not uniformly distributed, but instead follows a distribution called Benford's law: p(z) = P(1st digit is 2) = log10 (). (a) Compute the probabilities for each particular leading digit, and compare this distribution to the corresponding uniform distribution. (b) Calculate the cumulative distribution function for X. (c) Using the cdf, what is the probability that the leading digit is at most 3? At least 5?

5. Suppose that you are reading through back-issues of the New York Times and record every number
that appears in the articles (someone's salary, the cost of the new drones bought by the government,
the number of refugees on the border, etc.). Let X be the leading digit of a randomly selected
number from the articles (so X takes values between 1 and 9). Surprisingly, empirical evidence
suggests that X is not uniformly distributed, but instead follows a distribution called Benford's
law:
p(æ) = P(1st digit is ') = log10 () .
(a) Compute the probabilities for each particular leading digit, and compare this distribution to
the corresponding uniform distribution.
(b) Calculate the cumulative distribution function for X.
(c) Using the cdf, what is the probability that the leading digit is at most 3? At least 5?

A test contains 12 problems. The teacher gives 24 points for each correctly solved problem and withdraws 15 points for incorrectly solved problems. If a problem is not solved it is considered incorrect. Ron claims he got a zero for the test. That is impossible says Mia. Is there any reason for mia to say that?
