The analysis of Quicksort assumed that there are no duplicate values. In this problem we will study the case when the sequence of items we want to sort contains duplicate values. (a) (5 pts) What is the expected runtime of Randomized-Quicksort on a sequence of n identical items (i.e. all entries of the input array are the same)? How does it compare to the expected runtime of Randomized-Quicksort on an array of values picked uniformly at random which contains no duplicates. Justify your answer.

Step 1
Randomized-Quicksort works by selecting a pivot element randomly and partitioning the array into two subarrays: those less than the pivot and those greater than the pivot. The expected runtime of Quicksort is typically O(n log n) when the pivot divides the array Show more…

17.5* (Execution time for sorting) Write a program that obtains the execution time of selection sort, bubble sort, merge sort, quick sort, heap sort, and radix sort for input size 50000, 100,000, 150,000, 200,000, 250,000, and 300,000. Your program should create data randomly and print a table like this: Aray size Selection Sort Bubble Sort Merge Sort Quick Sort Heap Sort Radix Sort 50000 100000 150000 200000 250000 300000 The text gives a recursive quick sort. write a nonrecursive version in this exercise.
Empirical Study of Sorting Algorithms Complexity The goal of this project is to compare the efficiency of three sorting algorithms by measuring the time it takes for them to sort the exact same array of integers. - Find and copy into your code implementations of three classic sorting algorithms: Quicksort, Bubble sort, and Selection sort. - In main(), write code that creates 3 identical arrays of size 1,000,000 filled with random numbers in the range [1-1,000,000]. - Use code to measure the time it took for each of the sorting algorithms to sort the array. Each sorting method must have the same set of numbers to sort, so use one of the 3 arrays you created for each method. - When printing out the time, convert it into minutes and seconds format. - In the beginning of your file with the solution, in comments, record the timing results you got when running the sorting methods - for me to see. - Finally, find out how much time it takes Quicksort to sort 100,000,000 random integers on your computer. Record that result in the beginning of the source code file too. Name your solution EmpiricalStudy.java
