Challenge: Solving Task Using Gaussian Distribution

Task

Suppose you are going fishing.
One type of fish is well caught at atmospheric pressure from 740 to 760 mm Hg.
Fish of the second species is well caught at a pressure of 750 to 770 mm Hg.

Calculate the probability that the fishing will be successful if the atmospheric pressure is Gaussian distributed with a mean of 760 mm and a mean deviation of 15 mm.

You have to:

Calculate the probability that pressure is in the [740, 760] range.
Calculate the probability that pressure is in the [750, 770] range.
As our events intersect, we must use the inclusive-exclusive principle. Calculate the probability that pressure falls into the intersection of corresponding intervals.
