What number would the formula "=COUNT(A2:A7)" return?

Describe in pseudocode an algorithm that given an integer n and a linked list of elements increases the linked list by a factor of n by replacing each element in the original list with n copies of that element. for example, if l: [18, 7, 4, 24, 11] and n = 3 the resulting list should be l: [18, 18, 18, 7, 7, 7, 4, 4, 4, 24, 24, 24, 11, 11, 11]. if the value of n is less than or equal to 0, the list should be empty after the call. what’s the running time of your algorithm?

Sam is a data analyst at an advertising firm. he often uses a spreadsheet that contains media ratings details. he would like to filter the spreadsheet data based on different filter criteria. which operators can he use to specify the combination of filter criteria? sam can use the ( blank ) operators to specify a combination of filter criteria.

)a grad student comes up with the following algorithm to sort an array a[1..n] that works by first sorting the first 2/3rds of the array, then sorting the last 2/3rds of the (resulting) array, and finally sorting the first 2/3rds of the new array. 1: function g-sort(a, n) . takes as input an array of n numbers, a[1..n] 2: g-sort-recurse(a, 1, n) 3: end function 4: function g-sort-recurse(a, `, u) 5: if u ⒠` ≤ 0 then 6: return . 1 or fewer elements already sorted 7: else if u ⒠` = 1 then . 2 elements 8: if a[u] < a[`] then . swap values 9: temp ↠a[u] 10: a[u] ↠a[`] 11: a[`] ↠temp 12: end if 13: else . 3 or more elements 14: size ↠u ⒠` + 1 15: twothirds ↠d(2 ◠size)/3e 16: g-sort-recurse(a, `, ` + twothirds ⒠1) 17: g-sort-recurse(a, u ⒠twothirds + 1, u) 18: g-sort-recurse(a, `, ` + twothirds ⒠1) 19: end if 20: end function first (5 pts), prove that the algorithm correctly sorts the numbers in the array (in increasing order). after showing that it correctly sorts 1 and 2 element intervals, you may make the (incorrect) assumption that the number of elements being passed to g-sort-recurse is always a multiple of 3 to simplify the notation (and drop the floors/ceilings).
