Positional Frequency
- What it is
- Where the lowest, second lowest, ... highest number tend to land in each draw.
- How it is calculated
- Each draw is sorted, then we average the value at each position. By chance the i-th smallest of five numbers averages i x (N + 1) / 6.
- How to read it
- Position 1 is usually a small number, position 5 a large one. The averages should sit near the expected values.
- What it can't tell you
- It describes the shape of the draw, not the next result.
- Common misunderstanding
- 'The smallest number is always under 10.' It usually is, but not always.
