I always hear people saying that most of the articles usually receive little to no edits
Do you mean that many articles * have not been edited in a long time (6+ months?), * have few revisions (that is?), or * have only a human editor or two?
(and that is used to encourage participants to make sure their articles are good enough).
Dubious reasoning; other factors kept unchanged, articles with errors or other deficiencies are more likely to be edited further.
I would like to know if there are statistics that support this for the English and Arabic Wikipedia.
Wikistats reports on the average number of edits per article (while you'd need a median at least): https://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesArticlesEditsPerArticle.htm
MediaWiki tells you the 5000 oldest pages https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AncientPages and you can easily replicate such a query e.g. on http://quarry.wmflabs.org/
