Step 1
Introduction:
The normal probability is a type of continuous probability distribution that can take random values. The normal distribution is determined by the two parameters - the population mean $\left(\mu \right)$ and population variance $\left({\sigma }^{2}\right)$. It is symmetric with respect to its mean.
Given information:
$X\sim N\left(6,4\right)$
Therefore,
$\mu =6$
${\sigma }^{2}=4$
Step 2
$P\left(X>8\right)$ is computed as follows:
$P\left(X>8\right)=P\left(\frac{X-\mu }{\sqrt{{\sigma }^{2}}}>\frac{8-\mu }{\sqrt{{\sigma }^{2}}}\right)$
$=P\left(Z>\frac{8-6}{\sqrt{4}}\right)$
$=P\left(Z>1\right)$
$=1-P\left(Z\le 1\right)$
$=1-0.84134=0.15866$
Therefore,
$P\left(X>8\right)=0.1587$
