\(\text{Let }\Phi(x) \text{ be the CDF of the standard normal distribution}\\ P[\text{weight > 165}] = 1 - P[\text{weight < 165}] = \\ 1 - \Phi\left(\dfrac{165-176}{11.4}\right)\approx \\ 1 - \Phi(-0.964912) =p \text{ (meaning you figure out what }p \text{ is)}\)

 

\(p\cdot 120 = ?\\ \text{match what you get above with the choice list}\)
