Benford’s law

Benford’s law states that the relative frequencies of different digits in a population will be inversely proportional to their magnitude.

This can be seen in natural populations, such as the numbers of planets in our solar system, or the letters in a word.

For example, the number 2 appears more often than the number 1, and the number 3 appears more often than the number 2, but they are in inverse proportion to their magnitudes.
