I need help with part b please

The heights of 1000 students are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 173.8 centimeters and a standard
deviation of 6.5 centimeters. Suppose 300 random samples of size 25 are drawn from this population and the means
recorded to the nearest tenth of a centimeter. Complete parts (a) through (c) below.
Click here to view page 1 of the standard normal distribution table.
Click here to view page 2 of the standard normal distribution table.
(a) Determine the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of X.
The mean is μx = 173.8 .
(Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)
The standard deviation is σ = 1.3.
(Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)
(b) Determine the expected number of sample means that fall between 171.7 and 174.5 centimeters inclusive.
