Sheldon Ross Normal Variable
In the below question my query is for (a) part When we are calculating $P\left \{ \frac{-1}{3}< Z< \frac{2}{3} \right \}$ I know that the normal variable X is converted to standard normal variable and then we look for values in normal table but I want to know how the third step came? Please explain anyone.

Gambler and Four Coins
A Gambler has four coins in his pocket. Two are double-headed, one is double-tailed and one is normal coin. The coins cannot be distinguished until one looks at them. The gambler takes a coin at random, opens his eyes and sees that the upper face of the coin is the head. What is the probability that the lower face is a head? Given answer is 4/5. I think it should be 2/3.
