Pepsi uses six-sigma technique to evaluate whether its 15 oz Gatorade has consistent weight. Pepsi took a sampling of 1000 15 oz Gatorade and found out that the average weight was 15.12 oz with a standard deviation of 0.3 oz. Pepsi considers a tolerance of ± 4% from 15 oz acceptable.

b) What are the percentages of 15 oz Gatorade that are considered “overweight” and “underweight”?
