4 The linguist George Kingsley Zipf (1902-1950) proposed a law that bears hisname. In a typical English text, the most commonly occurring word is "the."We say that its frequency rank r is 1. The frequency f of occurrence of "the" isabout f= 7%. That is, in a typical English text, the word "the" accounts forabout 7 out of 100 occurrences of words. The second most common word is"of," so it has a frequency rank of r= 2. Its frequency of occurrence is f= 3.5%.Zipf's law gives a power relationship between frequency of occurrence f, as a%3Dpercentage, and frequency rank r. (Note that a higher frequency rank meansa word that occurs less often.) The relationship isf = cr-1,where c is a constant.(a) Use the frequency information given for "the" to determine the valueof c.C =(b) The third most common English word is "and." According to Zipf'slaw, what is the frequency of this word in a typical English text? Roundyour answer to one decimal place.
