(definition)

<P>
<strong>Definition:</strong>
On a wide variety of statistical data, the first digit is d with the probability  log<sub>10</sub>  ( 1 +  1/d   ).
<P><em>Note:
This is also referred to as ``the first-digit phenomenon.'' The general significant-digit law is that the first significant digits ddd ... d occur with the probability  log<sub>10</sub>  ( 1 +  1/ddd ... d   ). This law was first published by Simon Newcomb in 1881.  It went unnoticed until Frank Benford, apparently unaware of Newcomb's paper, concluded the same law and published it in 1938, supported by huge amounts of data.</em>
