8 looks unusual on its own — and unremarkable among 13 numbers

Drawn 192 times in 429 draws against 165.0 expected, +2.68σ. Testing all 13 numbers at once means about 0.1 should look this way by luck alone, so the threshold tightens to 7.7e-4 and this does not pass it.

Nothing here predicts the next draw. A number’s history is a record of a fair machine’s past, and the machine keeps none of it: 8 is drawn with probability 5/13 tonight whatever it did last week.
