A variation of merge sort involves calling a bubble or insertion sort when we reduce to an array size that is small say less

A variation of merge sort involves calling a bubble or insertion sort when we reduce to an array size that is small – say less than 50.   Rewrite the merge sort so that if the array partition we are looking at has a size less than 50, call insertion sort on that partition.  Then using System.nanotime for a rough estimate and using random Integer arrays of Various Sizes (N) indicate how efficient the two sorts are using the following table to record your results.  Also include estimates for the time it would take to this using a bubble sort.
