Problems.
1. (10 points) R-9.7 p. 417
Draw the 11-entry hash table that results from using the has function, h(k) = (3k + 5) mod 11, to
hash the keys 12, 44, 13, 88, 23, 94, 11, 39, 20, 16, and 5, assuming collisions are handled by chaining.
2. (10 points) R-9.8 p. 417
What is the result of the previous exercise, assuming collisions are handled by linear probing?
3. (10 points) R-9.10 p. 417
What is the result of Exercise R-9.7, when collisions are handled by double hashing using the secondary
hash function hs(k) = 7 − (k mod 7)?

4. (10 points) R-8.7 p. 361
An airport is developing a computer simulation of air-traffic control that handles events such as landings
and takeoffs. Each event has a time-stamp that denotes the time when the event occurs. The simulation
program needs to efficiently perform the following two fundamental operations:
• Insert an event with a given time-stamp (that is, add a future event)
• Extract the event with smallest time-stamp (that is, determine the next event to process)
Which data structure should be used for the above operations? Why? Provide big-oh asymptotic
notation for each operation.
