A company manufactures 16-oz boxes of cereal. Boxes are randomly weighted to ensure the correct amount. If the discrepancy in weight is more than 0.15 oz, the production is stopped. What is the range of acceptable values for production to continue?

The target weight is 16 oz, and the discrepancy can be at most 0.15 oz for production to continue. Subtracting and adding 0.15 gives 16 − 0.15 = 15.85 oz and 16 + 0.15 = 16.15 oz. So the acceptable range is 15.85 oz to 16.15 oz, choice C.
