Researchers studying horn size among bighorn sheep on Ram Mountain found that the narrow-sense heritability of horn size in males was $0.4.$ The average horn length among all males in 1980 was about $65 cm$ . If the average horn length of selected males in that year (those that reproduced) was $50 cm$ , what would you predict would be the horn size of the offspring of the males that reproduced?
