D. 16.15 oz to 16.45 oz

Answer :

The range of acceptable values will be 15.85 oz to 16.15 oz

Error and allowances

Given the following information

The measure of the company's box = 16-oz

If the discrepancy in weight is more than 0.15 oz, the range of acceptable values will be given as:

Higher limit = 16 + 0.15 = 16.15oz

Lower limit = 16 - 0.15 = 15.85-oz

Hence the range of acceptable values will be 15.85 oz to 16.15 oz
