Hello,
As part of the IB program, students have to complete a mathematical investigation. I am investigating Benford's Law and hoping to construct a data set and then test out the Law on it, and then subsequently justify why it worked or didn't using statistical ideas like invariance and orders of magnitude.
It would be much more helpful if I knew if it would work beforehand.
If I compiled a list of the domestic violence rates per country in, say, 100 countries? Would the Law work on the leading digit?
Thank you
