Dear Jack,

Dear Doug,

I made a typo too (.267 vs. .268)--my mistake. But when hr frequency is recorded in statistic books, it is usually rounded to the nearest hundreth, so, if you round the figure off, I am statistically correct on the frequency.

However, a year makes a big difference. We all make mistakes. I am just trying to correct a statistical mistake by Jack, just as you corrected me.

My mistake was forgetting to round the .267 avg. to the nearest thousandth too!

We can all learn from each other.

Sincerely,
BHL
