Any sequence of distinct numbers from [0,1] generates a binary tree by storing the numbers consecutively at the nodes according to a left-right algorithm (or equivalently by sorting the numbers according to the Quicksort algorithm). Let be the height of the tree generated by Obviously If the sequences are generated by independent random variables having the uniform distribution on [0, 1], then it is well known that there exists > such that...
