A hash table can store a maximum of 10 records, currently there are records in location 1, 3,4,7,8,9,10. The probability of a new record going into location 2, with hash functions resolving collisions by linear probing is
Consider a hash table of size seven, with starting index zero, and a hash function (3x + 4)mod7. Assuming the hash table is initially empty, which of the following is the contents of the table when the sequence 1, 3, 8, 10 is inserted into the table using closed hashing? Note that ‚Äö√Ñ√∂‚àö√ë‚àö‚â§_‚Äö√Ñ√∂‚àö√ë‚àö¬• denotes an empty location in the table.$
The goal of hashing is to produce a search that takes
The searching technique that takes O (1) time to find a data is

If h is any hashing function and is used to hash n keys in to a table of size m, where n<=m, the expected number of collisions involving a particular key x is :
