Part 2 Answer the following questions (See below)

1. Which sorting method did you choose?
2. The sorts we discussed were selection, insertion, bubble, merge, quick, and shell. In about a paragraph, discuss why the ones that you didn’t choose would have been less appropriate?

3. How much slower would you expect bubble sort of 10,000 elements to be than merge sort?

4. What is the fastest algorithm for finding the kth largest element of N numbers?

5. What is the primary disadvantage of Quick Sort? How could this disadvantage be eliminated?

6. What is an advantage of bubble sort over selection sort? What is an advantage of selection sort over bubble sort?

7. Why is a hybrid algorithm combining insertion sort with quick sort often faster than solely using quick sort?

8. Describe how radix sort of integers can be implemented to require only twice memory, rather than ten times memory.

9. State one or two problems that you can think of that are associated with sorting a linked list as compared with arrays?

10. Give one or two advantages that the linked list implementation has over arrays.

Part 3 Implement the program. Turn in the lab, including files containing the typed answers to the part 1 questions, the pseudo-code.

Show all of your calculations and processes. Describe your answer for each question in complete sentences.

Which of the two options should Patricia pursue if she wants to open a restaurant in a suburban area of Los Angeles? Calculate the total expected utility from each restaurant option and compare. Graph is not required. Describe your answer, and show your calculations.
Which of the two options should she pick if she plans to open a restaurant in the Los Angeles metropolitan area? Describe your answer, and show your calculations.
Which option should she pursue if the probability of finding a restaurant venue in a suburban area can be reliably estimated as 0.7 and in a metropolitan area as 0.3? Describe your reasoning and show your calculations.
Provide a description of a scenario in which this kind of decision between two choices, based on weighing their underlying attributes, applies in the “real-world” business setting. Furthermore, what are the benefits and drawbacks, if any, to this method of decision making?

Discussion, consider the stories told by the faculty and staff in the audio program. Each of these individuals represents a different perspective on issues at their institution. Imagine yourself as a program, department, or division leader at an institution like this. Your concerns are meeting the needs of all students, faculty, and staff in your area, implementing new initiatives or approaches that are likely to improve your area’s effectiveness, and working within budgetary and bureaucratic constraints—priorities that often conflict. You face challenges like those raised by leaders at different institutional levels, as described in your reading in Turnaround Leadership. Use the following questions to guide your Discussion:

How could an administrator or other leader working with faculty and staff like those in the audio program do a better job of addressing their differing perspectives?
What leadership challenges have you faced in your work environment? Are these similar to or different from those highlighted in the readings and audio program? What leadership skills appear to be necessary in higher education institutions?
How do you see people in these roles employing leadership strategies to effect change in the institution?
Are there common leadership strategies or qualities you can identify in the readings, in the audio program, and in the position announcements you found for the Application Assignment?
Do people in different roles or at different levels within the institution use different leadership strategies? How?
