Suppose you are building a hash table and want the probability of collision in your has function to be less than 10-6. The output of your hash function is a sequence of bits (e.g., 1001010111 is a sequence of 10 bits). What is the minimum number of bits needed for the hash function output to achieve the desired probability of collision.
You may use the approximation 103 = 210 to simplify your math if you wish.
