Ich habe eine Tüte Bastelperlen mit Buchstaben darauf gekauft und die Verteilung ist wild. Ich beschloss, es mit der Häufigkeit der Buchstaben im Wörterbuch zu vergleichen. Ich habe die Wörterbuchdaten von einem Beitrag der University of Notre Dame erhalten. Hergestellt in Google Sheets (ich konnte beim besten Willen nicht herausfinden, wie ich den Index beschriften soll)

Tilting my W sideways to get more E
I probably would have used colors that contrast more
At least you got the right amount of D

I wouldn’t call the distribution “wild” — it appears to be almost perfectly random to me. With a bag of 26 letters with 344 in each bag, you’d randomly expect to see most of the 26 letters of the between 8 and 19 times, which is what happened.
The expected number for any letter is 344/26 = 13.23, but you’d only get EXACTLY 13 of a letter about 2.9% of the time — you’d also expect to get lots of 14s and 12s and 15s and 11s, etc. That’s how randomness works, and that’s what looks like happened here.
