The amount of nitrogen oxides (NOX) present in the exhaust of a particular model of old car

Question:

The amount of nitrogen oxides (NOX) present in the exhaust of a particular model of old car varies from car to car according to a Normal distribution with mean 1.4 grams per mile (g/mi) and standard deviation 0.3 g/mi. Two randomly selected cars of this model are tested. One has 1.1 g/mi of NOX; the other has 1.9 g/mi. The test station attendant finds this difference in emissions between two similar cars surprising. If the NOX levels for two randomly chosen cars of this type are independent, find the probability that the difference is greater than 0.8 or less than −0.8.
