Question: Consider the prediction for the W and Z before their discovery, in round numbers m Z = 90 GeV and M W = 80 GeV.

Consider the prediction for the W and Z before their discovery, in round numbers mZ = 90 GeV and MW = 80 GeV. If it is sin2θW ≈ 0.23 with an uncertainty of 20%, what is the uncertainty on MW? If we measure MZ/MW with 1% uncertainty, what is the uncertainty on sin2θW?
