Find three probabilities for package mass

Packages from a packing machine have a mass which is normally distributed with mean 200 g, and standard deviation 2 g. Find the probability that a package from the machine weighs

(i) between 198.5 and 199.5 g,

(ii) less than 197 g,

(iii) more than 200.5 g.
