Reference no: EM131399141

Hand et al. (1994, p. 148) provide data on the number of words in each of 600 randomly selected sentences from the book Shorter History of England by G. K. Chesterton. They summarized the data as follows:

Number of words	Frequency	Number of words	Frequency
1-5	3	31-35	68
6-10	27	36-40	41
11-15	71	41-45	28
16-20	113	46-50	18
21-25	107	51-55	12
26-30	109	56-60	3
