Hey Guys,
Today we'll try some practice with Fermi Estimates. Primary Purpose: Sometimes you will have to make decisions without perfect data and having a way to get a decent ballpark approximation can be good enough to help you decide. Secondary Goal: Keep track of how confident we are in our predictions so that we can make our confidence match more closely with our true accuracy.
