(HW_3_1) The following table represents the lengths, in terms of number of characters, of 100 English words randomly chosen from a dictionary. Construct the frequency table and compute the average length of an English word using two ways (the raw data and the frequency of occurrence). Calculate the standard deviation of the word lengths from the mean. Using these estimates draw the histogram representing the data distribution. What is the chance that a randomly selected English word has 2 character-length?

(HW_3_2) Suppose that X~ Normal(m =3, sd=4) compute the Z-scores for the following numbers and state how many SD's is each of these numbers aways from m:
