    First, we must find the z-scores for each limit

    for 54

    z = (54 - 58) / 4 = - 1

    For this z-score, the area under the curve is 0.1587

    for 62

    z = (62 - 58) / 4 = 1

    The area under the curve is 0.8413

    Subtracting the two z-scores:

    0.8413 - 0.1587 = 0.6825

    Multiplying by 150

    150 (0.6825) = 102.39

    So, the closest answer is

    102
