sorry, i lied… one more question… on #2, it said to use a Reimann sum (i think it was midpoint… but not sure) to find the average number of people in the line at one time within the first 4 hours

i did this and got 621, which with units is 621 people * hours

and since it said average amount of people, i assumed it meant average value, so i did 1/(b-a) times my answer (to cancel out the hours) and got 155.25 people at one time as my answer

how does this compare to others’ answers?
