..SOLUTION

[tex]\begin{gathered} Mean=6.1 \\ Standard\text{ deviation=0.5} \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} Z-score=\frac{x-mean}{standard\text{ deviation}}=\frac{6-6.1}{0.5}=-0.2 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

The normal curve is given below.

Using statistical table, the probability is given as;
