Benford’s Law & Why Random Data Isn’t Random

In this video, I explore Benford’s Law and uncover why random quantitative datasets aren’t actually that random. Through a quick quiz and real world examples, you’ll see why the number 1 appears far more often than 9 as the leading digit in natural datasets like country populations or financial data. I break down the surprising logarithmic formula/trend, demonstrate multiple proofs, and highlight the limitations. 0:00 Intro 2:01 Limitations 4:47 Proof 1 6:17 Proof 2 12:45 Applications Subscribe for tomorrow’s video :)
