Statisticians often are interested in the median value in a collection of data. In a collection, about the same number of values are greater than the median value as are less than the median value. When the data is sorted, the median value occurs at the midpoint of the collection. But when the data is not sorted, the median is not as easy to find. A problem more general than finding the median is to find the kth smallest value in a collection of n values, where 0Â
—that is, the smallest integer greater than or equal to. For example, the median value of 11 items is the 6th smallest one. Design an algorithm that uses a minheap to find the kth smallest value in a collection of n values. Using the class of minheaps defined in Project 1, implement your algorithm as a method at the client level.
