It is known that 80-foot blue whales consume, on average, 3200 kg of krill per day. 100-footers consume on average 3600 kg of krill per day. Assume that the mean daily krill consumption varies linearly with whale length and that the daily consumption for a given whale follows a Gaussian distribution with a standard deviation of 200 kg of krill per day. Define the linear Gaussian distribution, P(kl), relating the rate of krill consumption k to whale length l
