Worst Case Space Complexity of Merge Sort and Bubble Sort

I understand that the worst space complexity of Bubble Sort is constant O(1), since all the space we need is the array where the elements were stored. But why is Merge Sort's worst space complexity O( …

Average Case Running Time of Quicksort Algorithm

From this website, it states that the average case of Quicksort algorithm is T(n) = T(n/9) + T(9n/10) + θ(n) Im a bit confused. Is it supposed to be ? T(n) = T(n/10) + T(9n/10) + θ(n)
