Normal distribution Question

Plastic bags used for packaging frozen foods are manufactured so that the breaking strength of the bag is normally distributed with a mean of 8 pounds per
square inch and a standard deviation of 1.2 pounds per square inch. Assuming a normal distribution,

(a) What percentage of the bags has a breaking strength between 7.4 and 8.6 pounds per square inch?

Calculate the z-scores for both 7.4 and 8.6.

Find the probability for each z-score in the Standard Normal Distribution table.

Subtract the probability associated with 7.4 from that associated with 8.6.
