.8041

Explanation:

All we need to do is find the corresponding areas for our z-scores in the table.

Using the table below (this variant of which is from [chegg.com](http://chegg.com)), we can see that
the area of the curve to the left of z=1.20 is .1151
and the area of the curve to the left of z=1.40 is .9192

To find the area between two z-scores, we subtract the smaller one from the larger one:

.9192.1151=.8041

to come up with our answer.
