White blood cells are classified into 5 categories, one of which is neutrophil cells. Typically, there are 100 cells that fall into these categories. For a healthy adult the probability of finding neutrophils is 0.6. Determine the probability that a healthy adult will find between 50 and 75 (inclusive) cells.

The question seems to me to be ambiguous. Note that physiological variables are (essentially by definition) log-normally distributed. It would be necessary to know the parameters of that distribution to determine those probabilities.

It is certainly possible to do it in MATLAB.
The parameters of the logmnormal distribution that describe the probability density function (and therefore the cumulative distribution function) of neurtophils need to be provided. Once those are supplied, there are MATLAB functions (in the Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox) that can provide the desired results.
