5 iclicker Quiz, Week 6 Q1: The number of integer solutions to x 1 +x 2 +x 3 +x 4 = 15, with x 2 2 and x 4 3, is: A: C(18,3) B: C(18,3) C(15,3) C(14,3) C: C(19,4) C(16,4) C(15,4) D: C(18,3) C(15,3) C(14,3) + C(11,3) E: None of the above Q2: You park in a 10-minute space at the coffee shop, but stay inside for 30 minutes. The parking officer comes by once every 20 minutes. If he sees your car twice in a row, you get a ticket. The probability that you receive a ticket is: A: 1/2 B: 1/3 C: 2/3 D: 1 E: None of the above Q3: You roll a fair six-sided die 10 times. Define the r.v. X to be the sum of the 10 rolls. Then, E(X) = A: 30 B: 60 C: 35 D: 25 E: None of the above Q4: You flip a fair coin 3 times. Define r.v. s: X 1 = number of heads obtained; X 2 = 1 if the second flip is heads, 0 otherwise. The joint probability h X 1,X2 (2,1) = A: 1/2 B: 3/8 C: 1/4 D: 1/8 E: 2/3 Q5: In the above question, variance X22 = E(X 22 ) (E(X 2 )) 2 is: A: 1/2 B: 1/4 C: 1/8 D: 1 E: 0
6 Linearity of Expectation: Baseball Cards A bubble gum company puts one random major league baseball player s card into every pack of its gum. There are N major leaguers in the league this year. If X is the number of packs of gum that a collector must buy up until she has at least one of each player s card, what is E(X)? Think about the card collecting in phases Phase 1: collect the first unique card Phase 2: collect the second unique card Phase k-1: collect the (k-1) st unique card Phase k: collect the k th unique card P(next pack ends this phase) = E(# packs to buy in this phase) =

If X is the number of packs of gum that a collector must buy up until she has at least one of each player s card, what is E(X)? Define r.v. X k = #packs bought in Phase k E(X) = E( k=1..n X k ) = k=1..n E(X k ) linearity of expectation! = k=1..n N / (N k + 1) = N (1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/ /N) = N H N H N = N th harmonic number ~N log N packs
8 Decision Trees Decision trees are a systematic way of listing templates / possibilities Decision trees are a type of graph Tree: graph with n vertices: n 1 edges, connected, no cycles Can be used for enumeration (counting things systematically) Can be used to capture recursive solution approaches (algorithms) Vehicle for correspondences between induction and recursion
9 From Lecture 4: Sorting (w/comparisons) Input: sequence of numbers Output: a sorted sequence Sorting == Identifying a Permutation 1. This DECISION TREE is a sorting algorithm! A < B 2. To correctly sort any input, this tree needs at least as many leaves as there are possible outcomes i.e., permutations of n elements Y N 3. #comparisons needed to get to the leaf at greatest depth is the worst-case complexity of the sorting algorithm B < C A < C Y N Y N A < B < C A < C B < A < C B < C Y N Y N A < C < B C < A < B B < C < A C < B < A
10 Bounds on Complexity of Sorting (w/ comparisons) In any binary tree with n! leaves, some leaf has depth at least log 2 (n!) From P5.2 and P5.3: log 2 (n!) ~ n log n = Lower bound on worst-case complexity of sorting P11.3: In any binary tree with M leaves, the average leaf depth is at least log 2 M. If all n! permutations are equally likely, then average time to sort is at least log2(n!) ~ n log n = Lower bound on average-case complexity of sorting
11 A Traveling Salesperson s Tours Recall from Lecture 2 slides: Bob the salesman starts at his home in San Diego, and tours 6 cities (Abilene, Bakersfield, Corona, Denver, Eastville and Frankfort), visiting each city exactly once before returning home. In how many possible ways could Bob make his tour?
12 Number of Non-Increasing Functions How many functions from A = {1,2,3,4} to itself are non-increasing? (similar to HW6 #7) Each function can be defined by a sequence of decisions: What is f(1) What is f(2) What is f(3) What is f(4) but these are not independent decisions! If f(1) = 1, then we must have f(2) = f(3) = f(4) = 1 If f(1) = 2, then we must have f(2) {1,2} If f(2) = 2, then f(3) {1,2} Etc. (There are 35 such functions)
13 Non-Increasing Functions Decision Tree f(1) = 1 f(1) = 2 f(1) = 3 f(1) = 4 f(2) = 1 =1 =2 =1 =2 =3 =1 =2 =3 = 4 f(3) = 1 =1 =1 =2 =1 =2 =3 =1 =1 =2 =3 =4 f(4) = 1 =1 =1 =1 =2
14 Decision Tree: Non-Attacking Queens Put N queens on an N x N chessboard such that no queen attacks another queen or, in how many ways can A queen in chess can attack any square on the same row, column, or diagonal. Given an n x n chessboard, we seek to place n queens onto squares of the chessboard, such that no queen attacks another queen. The example shows a placement (red squares) of four mutually non-attacking queens.
15 Non-Attacking Queens: Leaf in Tree = Solution
16 Non-Attacking Queens Decision Tree Comments Our tree corresponded to a solution space of size 4 4 = 256 What if we numbered the squares as 1, 2,, 16 and tried to enumerate all P(16,4) choices? Solution space would have size 16 * 15 * 14 * 13 = Our decision tree was smarter We realized that there must be exactly one queen per row, so the decision for the k th row (i.e., k th queen) boils down to picking a square in the row Our illustration of the tree did not show any infeasible configurations
17 Another Tree: 3-Coloring a Graph Three colors: R, G, B Graph 5 A graph is legally colored with k colors if each vertex has a color (label) between 1 and k (inclusive), and no adjacent vertices have the same color. 1 Example: scheduling classes into classrooms Each class = vertex in graph Edge between two vertices if class times overlap #colors = #distinct classrooms needed
18 4 Another Tree: 3-Coloring a Graph Three colors: R, G, B B G Graph 1B,2G By symmetry, can use any two colors for vertices 1 and 2 Tree of Colorings 3 R 5 3R 2 G?? 4G 4B 1 B A graph is legally colored with k colors if each vertex has a color (label) between 1 and k (inclusive), and no adjacent vertices have the same color.
19 Another Tree: 3-Coloring a Graph Three colors: R, G, B G B G Graph 5 R 4G 3R 4B 1B,2G By symmetry, can use any two colors for vertices 1 and 2 4R 3B Tree of Colorings 4G 1 B A graph is legally colored with k colors if each vertex has a color (label) between 1 and k (inclusive), and no adjacent vertices have the same color. 5R
20 Dealing With Hard Problems (!!!) Some problems are hard No known efficient (worst-case runtime complexity that is polynomial in the size of the input) algorithm Include traveling salesperson, graph coloring (Decision) tree organization of the solution space allows systematic enumeration with pruning Kind of an intelligent brute-force Backtrack Depth-first branch-and-bound
21 Hashing Definition: A hash function maps data of variable length to data of a fixed length. The values returned by a hash function are called hash values or simply hashes. Open Hashing: Each item hashes to a particular location in an array, and locations can hold more than one item. Multiple input data values can have the same hash value. These are called collisions!
22 Number of Items Per Location n items, hash to table of size k What is expected number of items per location? n independent trials with outcome = location in table (i.e., hash value) Let r.v. X = # inputs that hash to location 1 Let s write X as the sum of X i s : X i = 1 if the i th input hashes to location 1 X i = 0 otherwise X = X 1 + X X n E(X) = E(X 1 ) + E(X 2 ) E(X n ) = n 1/k = n/k
23 Number of Empty Locations What is expected number of empty locations? Define r.v. Y = # empty locations. We want E(Y) Example: 20 items into table of size 5: E(Y) = 5 (4/5) Example: 20 items into table of size 10: E(Y) = 10 (9/10)
24 Toward Conditional Probability, Bayes Rule Probability of A and B, i.e., P(A B) P(A B) = P(B A) P(A) probability of B given A, times probability of A P(A B) = P(A B) P(B) (symmetrical observation) P(A B) P(B) = P(B A) P(A) P(A B) = P(B A) P(A) / P(B) Bayes Rule / Theorem
25 Toward Conditional Probability, Bayes Rule If a student knows 80% of the material on an exam, what is the probability that he answers a given true-false question correctly? Knows material: correct with P = 1 Doesn t know material: correct with P = 0.5 Total: 0.9
26 Toward Conditional Probability, Bayes Rule A drug test detects PED use 95% of the time. However, 15% of PED-free individuals also test positive (= false-positive rate). 10% of NFL players use PEDs. Your NFL player friend tests positive. What is the probability that he actually did use steroids? Event A: your friend used steroids Event B: your friend tests positive We want: P(A B)
27 Problems 11 P11.1 Draw a convex n-gon P, along with all possible diagonals in P. Suppose that no three diagonals pass through any single point. Give an expression (and an explanation) for the number of distinct triangles that you can find in your drawing. P11.2 2n points are chosen on a circle. In how many ways can you join pairs of points by nonintersecting chords? [Hint: this is actually similar to one of the MT review questions!] P11.3 Prove that in any binary tree with M leaves, the average leaf depth is at least log 2 M. (Note: The root is at depth = 0, its children are at depth = 1, etc.)
