Assume that the elements of a are randomly chosen for i gt


Given an array A of length n (chosen from some set that has an underlying ordering), we can select the largest element of the array by starting out setting L = A(1), and then comparing L to the remaining elements of the array one at a time, replacing L by A(i) if A(i) is larger than L. Assume that the elements of A are randomly chosen. For i > 1, let Xi be1if element i of A is larger than any element of A(1 : i - 1). Let X1 = 1. Then what does X1 + X2 + ··· + Xn have to do with the number of times we assign a value to L? What is the expected number of times we assign a value to L?
