Answer:

14.68 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean volume is the average volume of all the regular soda cans put together; 14.5 oz. The standard deviation 0.18 oz is the maximum deviation from the mean. It can be 14.5-0.18= 14.32 oz which is the usual minimum or 14.5 + 0.18=14.68 oz which is the usual maximum
