A population of 16-ounce bottled drinks has a fill-weight of 16.07 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.01. The population of the bottles is known to be bell shaped, that is, normally distributed. Using the empirical rule, describe the range of the amount of drink (in ounces) contained in approximately 68%, 95%, and 99.7% of the bottles. Is it likely that a bottle could have less than 16 ounces of drink?
