Goodness-of-Fit: Conduct the specified goodness-of-fit test. Benford's Law states the probability distribution (below) of the first significant digit in a number. Digit Probability 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 2 0.301 0.176 0.125 0.097 0.079 0.067 0.058 0.051 0.046 The Fibonacci Sequence, found in the number of pedals on a pine cone, the number of seeds on a sun- flower and many other places in nature is 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21... The next number in the sequence is found by summing up the previous two numbers. The distribution of the first significant digit of the first 85 numbers in the sequence is below. Does this distribution follow to Benford's Law? [Hint: Goodness of Fit] Digit 1 2 3 Frequency 25 16 11 4 5 6 7 8 9 7 7 5 46
