(choose chapter or problem)

The simplified measure of gobbledygook (SMOG) readability formula is often used to estimate the reading grade level required if a person is to fully understand the written material being assessed. The formula is given by SMOG reading grade level 1w 3 where w is the number of words that have three or more syllables in a sample of 30 sentences. Use this information in Exercises 13 and 14. A sample of 30 sentences from Alices Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll, shows a total of 42 words that have three or more syllables. Use the SMOG reading grade level formula to estimate the reading grade level required to fully understand this novel. Round the reading grade level to the nearest tenth.
