Not a mathematician, but I'm sure the probability of them all being below 384 is going to be in the order of 0.000000001% if not less :)

Sure, if they were actually sampling 384 bits. Sounds like they sampled a lot less than that; maybe someone though "384 bits" meant "in the range [0, 383]" or whatever.

10 times the amount of digits is the possible number space.

smaller than 384 means 384 numbers (including 0) divided by the amount of possible numbers (see above) imho
