contents A real number is called simply normal to base $b$ if its base-$b$ expansion has each digit appearing with average frequency tending to $1/b$. In this article, we discover a relation between the frequency that the digit $1$ appears in the binary expansion of $2^{p/q}$ and a mean value of the Riemann zeta function on arithmetic progressions. As a consequence, we show that \[ \lim_{l\to \infty} \frac{1}{l}\sum_{0<|n|\leq 2^l } ζ\left(\frac{2 nπi}{\log 2}\right) \frac{e^{2nπi p/q} }{n} =0 \] if and only if $2^{p/q}$ is simply normal to base $2$.
