23. Weighing Seals with a Camera Listed below are the overhead widths (cm) of seals measured from photographs and the weights (kg) of the seals (based on “Mass Estimation of Weddell Seals Using Techniques of Photogrammetry” by R. Garrott of Montana State University). The purpose of the study was to determine if weights of seals could he determined from overhead photographs. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear correlation between overhead widths of seals from photographs and the weights of the seals?
