However, some cartons contain slightly less than and some contain slightly more than 12 ounces of ice cream. The amounts of ice cream in all such cartons have a normal distribution with a mean of 12 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.24 ounce.

mean 12oz and a SD = 0.24oz.
.......
Using the z-values to determine the Probability:
P(12.1488 < x < 12.1968) = P(.1488/.24 < z < .1968/.24)
.......
Using a TI calculator 0r similarly a Casio fx-115 ES plus
P(.1488/.24 < z < .1968/.24) = normalcdf(.62, .82) = .0615
