Solution :

Given that,

mean = = 43

standard deviation = = 10

n = 105

= = 43

= / n = 10 / 105 = 0.9759

P(42.59 < < 43.41) = P((42.59 - 43) / 0.9759 <( - ) / < (43.41 - 43) / 0.9759 ))

= P(-0.42 < Z < 0.42)

= P(Z < 0.42) - P(Z < -0.42) Using standard normal table,  

= 0.6628 - 0.3372

= 0.3256

The probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 0.41 months is 0.3256.
