4 Consider a reference collection and its set of example information request. If q is the information request and a set Rq=(d3, d5, d9, d39, d44, d50, d70, d80, d120). Now consider new retrieval algorithm has been designed and has been evaluated for information request q returns, ranking of the documents in the answer set as
1. d120 6. d9 11. d38
2. d84 7. d58 12. d48
3. d50 8. d129 13. d230
4. d6 9. d143 14. d113
