Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 21, Problem 4MC
Program Description Answer
A binary search tree is structured in such a way that for each parent node, the left subtree holds values that are less than the parent nodes, and the right subtree holds values that are greater than the parent node.
Hence, the correct answer is option “A”.

A binary tree that is not empty consists of an element, called the root, and two distinct binary trees, called the left subtree and right subtree
True
False
Given a set of 9 letters { H, K, S, P, A, E, I, O, U }, answer the following: a) Draw a binary search tree which is also a complete binary tree, constructed with the letters of the given set above (based on alphabetical ordering). NO steps required.b) Determine and list the sequence of elements obtained by post-order traversing the binary search tree constructed above. NO steps required.c) A new letter N is first inserted into the binary search tree determined above, followed by inserting another letter M. The original letter K is then removed from the binary search tree. Draw the updated binary search tree after these insertions and removal. NO steps required.
d) Find the average search length of the updated binary search tree in step c) with 2 decimal places, assume all nodes in the tree have same probability in searching. Clearly show the steps of your calculation.
In a binary search tree the following key values (not necessarily in the order given) are encountered while searching for the key 29.
