We have the following:

we must calculate the value of z within that interval as follows

$(x_1-m)/(sd)where x1 is 300 and x2 is 350m is the mean 400sd is the standar deviation 50replacing:[tex]\begin{gathered} (300-400)/(50)now, with the normal distribution table, we calculate the probabilitythe probability then would be[tex]0.15866-0.02275=0.13591$

So, the probability is 13.59%
