Question

3.32. Shakespeare's plays. Figure 3.13 is a histogram of
the lengths of words used in Shakespeare's plays. Because
there are so many words in the plays, we use a histogram
of percents. What is the overall shape of this distribution?
What does this shape say about word lengths in
Shakespeare? Do you expect other authors to have word
length distributions of the same general shape? Why?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given a figure 3.13 is a histogram of the length of words used in shakespeare's plays.

Using this histogram we have to write the overall shape of the distribution and also write that do we expect other authors to have word length distributions of the same general shape.
