Standard deviation refers to how high or low a number is from the average. In this case that number is 1.8 grams. Although not stated as clearly, I can assume that it is says that the standard deviation is .10 or 10% from the mean.
We find 10% of 31.9 and get 3.19 (move the decimal to the left). 1.8 grams is less than 3.19 so the appropriate decision is to keep the production process flowing.
