Typed plz and Asap thanks wrong answer not accepted thanks

The gypsy moth is a serious threat to
oak and aspen trees. A state
agriculture department places traps
throughout the state to detect the
moths. When traps are checked
periodically, the mean number of
moths trapped is only 0.5, but some
traps have several moths. The
distribution of moth counts is discrete
and strongly skewed, with standard
deviation 0.7. (a) What are the mean
and standard deviation of the average
number of moths x
in 70
traps? (b) Use the central limit
theorem to find the probability that
the average number of moths in 70
traps is greater than 0.6.
