What's the difference between numerosity and numerous?
Numerosity
Definition:
(n.) The state of being numerous; numerousness.
(n.) Rhythm; harmony; flow.
Example Sentences:

(12) When pitch of sound was correlated with foreperiod duration so that it functioned as prior information, such monotonic function was eliminated for schizophrenics only when the numerosity of dots was constant from trial to trial.
(13) This means that the perceived numerosity is size invariant, at least for a 1.6-times magnification and a 3-times reduction of the test pattern.
(14) This numerosity limit was twice that found for equivalent linear arrays, with no grouping.
(15) The effect of prior information as to numerosity of dots was negligible for both schizophrenics and alcoholics when foreperiod duration was variable from trial to trial.
(16) 4-year-old's knowledge of counting and cardinality--the last count word reached represents the numerosity of the set--was tested in 2 experiments.
(17) From these preliminary results, tentative proposals concerning 'numerosity' units and their properties are made.
(18) When subjects were asked to estimate the numerosity of a display, reports were lower for displays containing repeated letters, for example, DDDD, than for displays containing distinct letters, for example, NRVT.
(19) When pitch of sound, which functioned as a warning signal, was correlated with numerosity of dots, the monotonic relation between numerosity of dots and estimation of stimulus duration was eliminated for alcoholics, but not for schizophrenics, only when foreperiod duration was constant from trial to trial.
(20) In this system, numerosities are represented by magnitudes, which are rapidly but inaccurately generated by the Meck and Church (1983) preverbal counting mechanism.
Numerous
Definition:
(a.) Consisting of a great number of units or individual objects; being many; as, a numerous army.
(a.) Consisting of poetic numbers; rhythmical; measured and counted; melodious; musical.
Example Sentences:
(1) The taxonomic relationship of strains H4-14 and 25a with previously described Xanthobacter strains was studied by numerical classification.
(2) Glucocorticoids have numerous effects some of which are permissive; steroids are thus important not only for what they do, but also for what they permit or enable other hormones and signal molecules to do.
(3) There have been numerous documented cases of people being forced to seek hospital treatment after eating meat contaminated with high concentrations of clenbuterol.
(4) The region containing the injection stop signal (iss) has been cloned and sequenced and found to contain numerous large repeats and inverted repeats which may be part of the iss.
(5) Migrant voters are almost as numerous as current Ukip supporters but they are widely overlooked and risk being increasingly disaffected by mainstream politics and the fierce rhetoric around immigration caused partly by the rise of Ukip,” said Robert Ford from Manchester University, the report’s co-author.
(6) Numerical results for the population of England and Wales are shown.
(7) Transmission electron microscopy demonstrated that these blebs were devoid of organelles and microvilli; scanning electron microscopy revealed that the blebs were highly wrinkled and more numerous than were the projections observed in tissue from animals treated with testosterone alone, or in tissue from unoperated controls.
(8) However, each of the studies had numerous methodological flaws which biased their results against finding a relationship: either their outcome measures had questionable validity, their research designs were inappropriate, or the statistical analyses were poorly conceived.
(9) Further exploration of these excretory pathways will provide interesting new insights on the numerous cholestatic and hyperbilirubinemic syndromes that occur in nature.
