(Quiz week 5, sep 15th, Question 1) Consider the table took from Barábasi's book, chapter 3 (http://networksciencebook.com/chapter/3#small-worlds):
-
\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline \text{Network} & \text{N} & \text{L} & \text{$\langle k \rangle$} & \text{$\langle d \rangle$} & \text{$d\ max$} & \text{lnN/ln$\langle k \rangle$}\\
\hline Internet & 192,244 & 609,066 & 6.34 & 6.98 & 26 & 6.58\\
\hline WWW & 325,729 & 1,497,134 & 4.60 & 11.27 & 93 & 8.31\\
\hline Power\ Grid & 4,941 & 6,594 & 2.67 & 18.99 & 46 & 8.66\\
\hline Mobile-Phone\ Calls & 36,595 & 91,826 & 2.51 & 11.72 & 39 & 11.42 \\
\hline Email & 57,194 & 103,731 & 1.81 & 5.88 & 18 & 18.4 \\
\hline Science\ Collaboration & 23,133 & 93,437 & 8.08 & 5.35 & 15 & 4.81\\
\hline Actor\ Network & 702,388 & 29,397,908 & 83.71 & 3.91 & 14 & 3.04\\
\hline Citation\ Network & 449,673 & 4,707,958 & 10.43 & 11.21 & 42 & 5.55\\
\hline E.\ Coli\ Metabolism & 1,039 & 5,802 & 5.58 & 2.98 & 8 & 4.04\\
\hline Protein\ Interactions & 2,018 & 2,930 & 2.90 & 5.61 & 14 & 7.14\\
\hline \end{array} \]
Comparing data from the table, judge the statements bellow:
- We can see Small World phenomena at Internet and Mobile-Phone Calls networks.
- We cannot see Small World phenomena at Power Grid and Protein Interaction networks.
- We can nearly see Small World phenomena at Actor Network network.
- Only I.
- Only II.
- Only III.
- Only I and III.
- None of the above.

Interesting question, but it is prone to interpretation.
