a. Using google squared, one can find out all sorts of information about pretty much anything. As shown in Dr. Strange's youtube post, one can find the population of any given country.
b. Using wolframalpha, one can do the same as in google squared, but one may get different numbers. A person can use both of these sites and see if they get the same information; that would tell a person that the information was probably correct.
c & d: I am sad to say that I didn't know about google squared or worldramalpha before 20 minutes ago.
e. After re-reading my own comments to the "Did You Know" assignment, I still agree with everything that I said.
f. To be honest, the word "statistics" makes me nervous, normally. But after exploring and playing with these sites, I'm excited to find that I wasn't confused! It's a very useful tool to find out about things that are normally difficult to find information on.
