For a lottery to be successful, the public must have condence in its fairness. One of the lotteries in Maryland is Pick-3 Lottery, where 3 random digits are drawn each day. A fair game depends on every value (0 to 9) being equally likely at each of the three positions. If not, then someone detecting a pattern could take advantage of that and beat the lottery. To investigate the randomness, we'll look at data collected over a recent 32-week period. Althought the winning numbers look like three digit numbers, in fact, each digit is a randomly drawn 1 numeral. We have 654 random digits in all. Are each of the digits from 0 to 9 equally likely? Here is a table of the frequencies.

Group Count %
0 62 9.480
1 55 8.410
2 66 10.092
3 64 9.786
4 75 11.468
5 57 8.716
6 71 10.856
7 74 11.315
8 69 10.550
9 61 9.327
