So after calculating the z-score for z(4) and z(-2). the final answer is P(-1 < Z < 1) ? or just 1?

You look up left integrals for higher Z and lower z. The difference in the areas will be the probability.

After solving it, I found 𝑃 ( − 2 < 𝑋̅ < 4 ) = 0.9973002

Yes. That is right for -3<z<3. If that is not correct, it could be that sigma of the population is 3^2 = 9 (I don't know why it would be written that way - that's why I assumed it was sigma squared). If that is the case, then sigma of the sample is 3 which would lead to 68% going from -1 to 1 in z.
