Default What size ground wire?

I know if you buy a new electric dryer, you can either put a 3 prong
cord plug on and tie the neutral and groung together, or you can
convert the outlet to a 4 prong outlet and tie together the neutral
and ground.
Does the same rules apply to a range?


You can use an existing 3 wire circuit and bond the ground and neutral on
the appliance or install a 4 wire circuit and separate the ground and
neutral on the appliance
