Is there a formula to calculate what the maximum and minimum height for an AVL tree, given a certain number of nodes?
For example:
Textbook question

It is roughly 1.44 * log n, where n is the number of nodes.
For a more detailed description on how that was derived. You can refer to this link starting on the middle of page 13: http://www.compsci.hunter.cuny.edu/~sweiss/course_materials/csci335/lecture_notes/chapter04.2.pdf
