A) the probability is 0.123 or 12.3%.
B) the probability is 0.8589 or 85.89%.
C) the normal distribution can be used even though the sample is small because the population the sample is taken from is normally distributed.

Explanation
A) We first find the z-score that corresponds with this value.
z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}
\\
\\=\frac{215-205}{8.6}= 1.1628

Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we find 1.16; this corresponds to a probability of 0.8770.  However, This is the probability that a number will be lower than this; since we want the probability that the value is higher, we subtract from 1:

1-0.8770 = 0.123.

B) To find the probability of a sample mean, we use the formula
z=\frac{X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}
\\
\\=\frac{202.8-205}{\frac{8.6}{\sqrt{15}}}=-0.9908

Looking in our z-table we see that this corresponds with 0.1611.  Again, however, this is the area left of this value, which is the probability below; we want the probability above, so we subtract from 1:

1-0.1611 = 0.8589
