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.
