1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. BACKGROUND
Ship weight estimating methods are the principal tools of
the profession since the introduction of Archimedes' law
in practical ship design. Archimedes lived from 298 BC
to 212 BC, but his law was used for ship design purposes
almost 2000 years later by Pierre Bouguer in "Trait de
navire", (1746) and by Fredrik Henrik af Chapman in his
"Architectura Navalis Mercatoria" (1775).

Therefore:
M = 6, 083
It means that by dividing the lightship weight into three
groups and estimating each of them with the same
standard deviation, the reliability of lightship weight
prediction is improved from 10% to 6,083%
Obviously, every further division, i.e. increasing n,
brings less improvement as defined by the equation:
