One of the following two lists gives the closing prices of shares in a
certain section (company names are not given). The other list was
made up.
List 1:
84, 1347, 20, 202, 100, 829, 828, 970, 257, 540, 319, 605, 1591, 640,
9900, 254, 310, 541, 487, 810, 415, 370, 96, 466, 274, 751, 540, 1660,
1060, 490
List 2:
54, 462, 97, 2164, 850, 527, 53, 18, 46, 422, 69, 23, 555, 347, 933,
4216, 666, 925, 89, 96, 197, 208, 58, 223, 652, 290, 765, 98, 222, 17
Which list is the one that was made up? What is your reason for
choosing that one?
If you do not know where to start, do a search on Benford's rule.
