Math Problem Statement

When women were finally allowed to become pilots of fighter​ jets, engineers needed to redesign the ejection seats because they had been originally designed for men only. The ejection seats were designed for men weighing between 150 lb and 201 lb. Weights of women are now normally distributed with a mean of 174 lb and a standard deviation of 42 lb. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (c) below. Question content area bottom Part 1 a. If 1 woman is randomly​ selected, find the probability that her weight is between 150 lb and 201 lb. The probability is approximately
