IF µ = 5.9ft and σ = .5ft
Using TI or similarly an inexpensive calculator like an Casio fx-115 ES plus
P(5.8ft ≤ x ≤ 6ft) = normcdf(5.8,6,.5,5.9) = .1585

Your input data is defective, since it is (obviously) fatally unrealistic.

In her calculations, @ewatrrr changed the input data in arbitrary way,
even without informing/warning you about it.
