The Fibonacci sequence of numbers occurs in variousscientific contexts. The first two numbers in the sequenceare 1,1. Then every succeeding number is the sum of the twoprevious numbers: 1, 1, 1 1 2, 1 2 3, 2 3 5,8, 13, 21, . . .. The first digit of any number in this sequencecan be 1, 2, . . ., or 9. The frequencies of first digits for thefirst 85 numbers in the sequence are as follows: 25 (1s), 16(2s), 11, 7, 7, 5, 4, 6, 4. Does the distribution of first digitsin the Fibonacci sequence appear to be consistent with theBenfords Law distribution described in Exercise 21 ofChapter 3? State and test the relevant hypotheses.
