You can use either of inequalities


    2 - 0.0004 <= p <= 2 + 0.0004,  which is the same as


     1.9996 <= p <= 2.0004


or


    |2 - p | <= 0.0004.



The plot below shows the number line and the range for p on the number line


 ----|=======|=======|=======|=======|=======|========|=======|=======|------

   1.9996  1.9997  1.9998 1.9999     2   2.0001    2.0002   2.0003  2.0004


=============

Keep in mind that the plot in the post by @ewatrrr is INCORRECT.

Hi  

p within 0.0004 units of 2 

Think of p as being on a number line:

number_line%28+600%2C0%2C+3+%29

  1.9996 ≤  p  ≤ 2.0004   

Wish You the Best in your Studies.
