Question:
13. Which type of English word is longer: nouns, verbs, or adjectives? Go to a book of at least 400 pages and turn to random pages using the random numbers listed at the end of this paragraph. Go down the page until you come to a noun.
Note its length (in number of letters). Do this for 10 different nouns. Do the same for 10 verbs and then for 10 adjectives. Using the .05 significance level,
(a) carry out an analysis of variance comparing the three types of words, and (b)
figure a planned contrast of nouns versus verbs. (Be sure also to give the full bibliographic information on the book you used: authors, title, year published, publisher, city.)
