need these 2 asap thank you

Teen drivers (those aged 15-19) spend an average of 45 minutes behind the wheel each day. Assume that the standard deviation is known to be 12.5 minutes. You randomly select 45 teenage drivers.

d) You take a random sample of 45 teen drivers and want to find the probability that the mean time they spend driving each day is less than 24.5 minutes. What z-score should you use? (give your answer to 3 decimal places)

e) You take a random sample of 45 teen drivers. What is the probability that the mean time they spend driving each day is less than 24.5 minutes? (give your answer to 4 decimal places)

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
