Hi
Normal Distribution:  µ = 40.2 and σ = 5.9
Using TI or similarly an inexpensive calculator like a Casio fx-115 ES plus
Continuous curve
P(x < 44) = P(x ≤ 44) = normalcdf(-9999, 44, 40.2, 5.9) = .8284 0r 82.84%
P(x > 38) = P(x ≥ 38) = normalcdf( 38, 9999, 40.2, 5.9) = .2123 0r 21.23%
P(37 > x > 41)= normalcdf(37, 41, 40.2, 5.9) = .3829 = .0283 0r 2.83%

Important You feel comfortable using Your calculator.
Wish You the Best in your Studies.
