Show in a formal mathematical proof, theoretical analysis, an even split of an array into two subarrays which answers in the best performance of quicksort algorithm "appraised with respect to the running time". coding or empirical investigation are not needed.

Expert Solution

Quicksort's best case running time is O(n log n) where each partition operation divides the input into two equally sized partitions. The partition operations take O(n) time. Thus each level of the recursive Quicksort implementation has O(n) time complexity (across all the partitions) and the number of levels is however many times we can iteratively divide n by 2, which is O(log n).

The best case occurs when partitions are as evenly balanced as possible: their sizes either are equal or are within 1 of each other.

For any mathematical computations, you must show your work to receive full credit. 7. Two groups of subjects participated in an experiment designed to test the effect of frustration on aggression. The experimental group of 40 subjects received a frustrating puzzle to solve, while the control group of 70 subjects received a very easy version of the same puzzle. Levels of aggression was measured for both groups where higher scores are indicative of higher levels of aggression. The experimental group...

Consider the following game, which might model the “Split-or-Steal” game show. Two players simultaneously choose whether to split or steal. If they each choose to split, they each get $50. If one chooses steal and the other chooses split, then the stealer gets $100 and the splitter gets $0. If both choose steal, they each get $0. (a) Assume the players care both about their own monetary earnings and the amount of inequality between their earnings: for a pair of...
