Problem

If we can assume that the keys in the list have been arranged in order (for example, numerical or alphabetical order), then we can terminate unsuccessful searches more quickly. If the smallest keys come first, then we can terminate the search as soon as a key greater than or equal to the target key has been found. If we assume that it is equally likely that a target key not in the list is in any one of the n + 1 intervals (before the first key, between a pair of successive keys, or after the last key), then what is the average number of comparisons for unsuccessful search in this version?
