Investigating the Relationship Between the Number or Letters in a Word and the Number of Arrangements of the Letters There Are
Introduction
The aim of these investigations is to explore and find a relationship
between the number of letters in a word and the number of arrangements
of the letters there are.

For these investigations, I have decided to use numbers instead of
letters because it will be easier to work out all of the arrangements
if I can do them in numerical order. I have numbered the letters:
L = 1
U = 2
C = 3
Y = 4
I have started by writing out all the combinations beginning with 1
(L) and then 2 (U), 3(C) and so on

The way the experiment was set it; the researches got college students to learn a list of foreign words that they have never seen before. They were given a bunch of words in Swahili-English words. The list contained 40 wor...
All languages could be successfully analyzed in terms of mathematical equations. In this sense, language is mathematics. This thesis enables us to explain why languages usually have different word orders, and why any language could be highly flexible.

This demonstrated in an experiment by John Ridley Stroop (1935) where he investigated the how well student participants were able to state the color of the word rather than reading the word itself. The researcher predicted that naming the color of the word takes longer and is more prone to errors than when the color of the ink matches the name of the color. In the experiment participants were given a ten word sample before the first reading of each test. At the beginning of each test t...
The purpose of our experiment, called The Stroop Effect, is an outcome of our attentionalvitality and flexibility. Most humans can read words more quickly and automatically than they can name colors. Therefore, if a word is shown in a different color ink than the color actually spells; for example, if the word blue is actually written in reen ink, we will have a harder time separatin the word from the color. !e are testin to prove that youner children "approximatelyaes # to $%& will be able to complete the Stroop Test faster than older adults "approximately aes $' to %(&. The procedure is rather simple; we athered a wide rane of test sub)ects varyin by their aes and showed them the Stroop *hart. Then we told them the directions in
Three related hypotheses were formulated to aid in quantifying the relationship between said variables. These are; when the word is a colour name and is presented in the colour it names, colour naming will be at its fastest, when the word is a colour name and is presented in a colour different to the one it names, colour naming will be at its slowest and when the word is not a colour name, colour naming will be at an intermediate speed.
The Fry sight-Word Inventory provides a 1000 word list in order of difficulty. During the assessment the student performed at a lower level. She said many of the words in the second and third grade set of 100 words incorrect. There were quite a number of hesitation and fixes, which was an indicator that these were not sight words for her. Decoding and analysis strategies were applied, which made her hesitate on words. I noticed as she read that she was confused with words that had “ro”, like “from” and would switch the letters around when she pronounced it. So indtead of “from” she would say “form”.
I will do this by using tables and lists of my results to show the
The control group was the group given a list of 20 random words and the experiment group was the group given a list of 20 related words. Random group allocation of participants to both of the two conditions was used to counter-balance the individual differences of the participants.
Eliminating nonessential elements, the minimized letterforms weaken the identification to recognize some of the letters: the lowercase ‘a’ and ‘g’ with single-counter are less legible than the two-counter letters; the letter ‘b’, ‘d’, ‘p’ and ‘q’ are considered to be just mirrored or rotated

Marbles are simply dropped into the box. What arrangement of marbles would be the most likely to occur? A critical thing to understand is that all arrangements are equally likely. From a mathematical point of view you should be no more surprised to see one arrangement than to see a completely different one, yet while any arrangement is equal to show up from a mathematical point of view the number of outcomes that are disordered far ...
