Chapter 11, Problem 2P

(a)

Program Plan Intro

To determine the probability Qk of exactly k keys hash present in to a particular slot of the hash table having n number of slots and n keys.

(b)

Program Plan Intro

To show that the probability of slot contacting maximum keys is less then or equals to n times of probability of exactly k keys present in the particular slot.

(c)

Program Plan Intro

Show that the probability of a slot having maximum k keys Qk is less than ek/kk by using Stirling approximation.

(d)

Program Plan Intro

Show that the probability Pkof a slot having maximum number of k keys is less than 1/n2, where is equals to total no. of slots.

Consider a CBHT (closed bucket hash table) in which the keys are student identifiers. Assume that the number of buckets m = 100 and hash function hash (id) = first two digits of id. #Starting with an empty hash table, show the effect of successively adding the following student identifiers: 000014, 990021, 990019, 970036, 000015, 970012, and 970023. Show the effect of deleting 000014 from the hash table.
Consider the following sequence of key-value pairs: (1, "A"), (2, "B"), (3, "C"), (4, "D"), (5, "E"), (6, "F"), (7, "G"), (8, "H"), (9, "I"), (10, "J"). Insert these key-value pairs into an empty hash table of size 5 using the hash function h(k) = k mod 5. Draw the resulting hash table after each insertion. Assume that collisions are handled using linear probing.
Consider a hash table of size M using separate chaining with ordered lists and the hash function hash(k) = k mod M.   a) Assume N items have already been inserted in the table. What is, in average, the cost (number of operations) needed for searching an item in the table? Justify your answer. b) Assume N items have already been inserted in the table. What is, in average, the cost (number of operations) needed for inserting the next (N+1)th item? Justify your answer.
