Hi Jonathan,

This is from the article:
"Essentially, this formula tells Oracle the number of block visits (see side 
bar) that a process will have to make to collect all the data from the table. 
If the selectivity (fraction of the table's data) is X, then it seems 
reasonable that the number of index leaf blocks to visit will be X% of the 
clustering_factor; and the number of table block visits will also be X%. Add on 
the fact that you have to walk from the root to the leaf level just once, and 
you have the formula."

I believe it's the other way around:

the number of index leaf blocks  = X% of leaf blocks
the number of table block visits = X% of clustering_factor

Regards,

Waleed
