My answer for part (b), .3372,was the same. I wouldn't be surprised if the
book was wrong...

Regarding my question about the bricks, I wanted to know what was wrong with my
logic. I just don't understand why my method of answering the question is
wrong. I think I set up the problem appropriately. Maybe Professor Gould
could tell me if I've made an error in judgment somewhere...

Last of all, for the Million Man March, it seems that a picture taken at random
would give the better estimate of the attendance. A picture taken during
Farakhan's speech would probably give a larger (and incorrect) estimate since
the people would be gathered in one area, giving a larger density.
