Consider an open-address hash table with uniform hashing. Give upper bounds on the expected number of probes in an unsuccessful search when the load factor is 5 0/0 6°
Insert into a hash table with open addressing - linear probing with size 12 and hashing function h(x) = 5x mod 12: 31, 24, 51, 73, 89, 4, 103, 21, 33, 55, 81, 62
1. Consider an open hash (that is, one that deals with collisions by using a linked list) with a million entries.  The hash algorithm takes 200ns to run, each comparison of objects takes 10ns, and everything else involved in the lookup takes trivial time.  How large does the hash table need to be to use less time on chained comparisons than on the initial hash lookup?  (Remember that you always have to compare once.)
