Question
Weight of a humpback whale The expected weight W
(in tons) of a humpback whale can be approximated
from its length L (in feet) by using W = 1.70L – 42.8 for
30 sLs 50.
(a) Estimate the weight of a 40-foot humpback whale.
(b) If the error in estimating the length could be as large as
2 feet, what is the corresponding error for the weight
estimate?
