Scores on a standardized vocabulary test for measuring the
vocabulary skills of six-year-old children form a normal
distribution with = 500 and standard deviation = 60. A
developmental psychologist hypothesizes that children's vocabulary
skills can be increased by having their parents read out loud
during pregnancy. You – Dr. Grisham - are one of several
researchers to test this hypothesis by selecting a random sample of
pregnant women and having them read out loud during their
pregnancies. When you measure...
Compare the language generated by Grammar #2 to the language
generated by Grammar #1. How do the two languages compare to each
other? (Is one language a proper subset of the other? Does each
language contain a string that the other one does not? Do both
grammars generate the very same language?)
