Oh my, one mistake following another. I hope it is alright now.

I should have been clearer here.

Language "A" containing words of length 3,4,5,6 and 7 letters, with
frequences proportional to 1,2,3,2 and 1. So a 900 word document in language 
"A" would
count 100 words of length 3, 200 words of length 4, etcetera. So the average
wordlength is then 5.
