**Problem Statement:**

Randomly sample 256 items from a population where individuals have a normal distribution with a mean of 120 and a standard deviation of 160. Find the following probability rounded to 4 decimal places.

**Graph/Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram is a normal distribution curve representing the sampling distribution of the sample mean. It has a symmetric bell shape centered at the population mean of 120. The x-axis ranges from 80 to 160 with increments of 10. Below the x-axis, the corresponding z-scores are marked:

- z = -4 at x = 80
- z = -2 at x = 100
- z = 0 at x = 120 (mean)
- z = 2 at x = 140
- z = 4 at x = 160

The shaded area under the curve represents the probability of the sample mean falling between the given range.

**Probability Expression:**

\[ P(110.5 < \bar{x} < 143.2) = \]

(Use this space to calculate or provide the probability value using statistical methods or tools.)
