Suppose we have a hash table with N slots containing n keys. Suppose that instead of a linked list in open hashing, each slot is implemented as a binary search tree. Give the worst and the best time complexity of adding an entry to this hash table. Explain your answers. Worst Case Best Case
Suppose we use a hash function h to hash n distinct keys into an array T oflength m. Assuming simple uniform hashing, what is the expected number ofcollisions? More precisely, what is the expected cardinality of ffk; lg W k ¤ l andh.k/ D h.l/g?
Suppose we hash elements of a set U of keys into m slots. Show that if |U|  (n − 1)m, then there are at least n keys that all hash to the same slot, so that the worst-case searching time for hashing with linked list to resolve collisions is Θ(n).
