You can put this solution on YOUR website!
use the Z-Table Calculator to figure this out.

In the bottom graph:

Enter a mean of 12.10
Enter a standard deviation of .4
Enter a Shaded Area of .015
Select Above

The graph tells you that more than 12.9680 ounces of beer are poured in each bottle 1.5% of the time.

I believe that's what they are looking for.
