Average case Analysis of an Algorithm In order to perform a probabilistic analysis,we must use knowledge of,or make assumptions about,the distribution of the inputs. Then we analyze our algorithm,computing an average-case running time,where we take the average over the distribution of the possible inputs.Thus we are,in effect,averaging the running time over all possible inputs.When reporting such a running time,we will refer to it as the average-case running time.Average case Analysis of an Algorithm
