New Year's Resurrection

With 85% of chance, I would say "New Year's resurrection" when it really means New Year's resolution. Especially after working at the MTC for 8 hours talking about plan of salvation, it was way easy for me to start Family Home Evening lesson by saying "Today, we are going to make New Year's Resurrection!" That entertained MOM and my husband.
But if you think about it, like if you think you were going to resurrect on the New Year's day, that would be cool. You probably don't even need to make any more resolutions.
Since we humbly partook the fact that we most likely won't be resurrected yet, we made resolutions. Then, we shared one thing that we think we need the most help with to accomplish.
Interestingly enough, everyone's challenge was goals to attain a physical well-being. So we swore that we would help each other. We are OHANA. (It means "family" in Hawaiian. Yes, we watched "Lilo and Stich" today.)

MOM cooked delicious chicken with sour cream with breadcrumbs.

We love holidays.

Farm and Stat

学んだこと。
中学生(15歳)の男の子40人とゲームをすることは、まだまだ修行が必要。でも、たかひろ君に、何になりたいの?という質問から始まり。。。
「英語が学びたい。」
「へーなんで?」
「日本はつぶれるから。」
。。。って、おい、そんな心構えでいいのか??と、アメリカに住んでる私が言うのも何だけど、そう思った。大丈夫かいな?!
Stat 221. I am learning Confidence interval, looking for some areas of the possible answers. But, how to make statement, and answer are very stratified and tricky.
First, you start from
a question (state the problem): Researchers plan to examine 26 breast-fed infants and estimate the mean hemoglobin level of all breast fed infants. Assume that the population standard deviation is 1.6 gram/100ml and the population is normally distributed.
Formulate: Obtain a 95% confidence interval estimate for the mean hemoglobin level of all breast fed infants.
Solve: Collect data. mean ± m. m= the margin of error. Z*x σ/rute n.
Conclude: We are 95% confidence that the interval (12.28, 13.52) contains the mean hemoglobin (in grams/100ml) for all breast-fed babies.
