I have noticed that for the TPCH case if I use "pages * selectivity"
it give me better results, but IMHO directly multiplying the pages
with selectivity may not be the correct way to calculate the number of
heap pages it can only give the correct result when all the TID being
fetched are clustered. But on the other hand "Mackert and Lohman
formula" formulae consider that all the TID's are evenly distributed
across the heap pages which can also give the wrong estimation like we
are seeing in our TPCH case.

Thanks for the testing number looks good to me.
