Expert Solution
Step 1

Let's consider for 1 st part. 

The Z-score is a measure of how many standard deviations a data point is from the mean of a distribution. A Z-score of 0 corresponds to the mean of the distribution, and a Z-score of 1 corresponds to one standard deviation above the mean. Simply it follows N(0, 1) . 

Generally, the formula for calculating the Z-score for a given data point x in a normal distribution with mean μ and standard deviation σ is:

 

Z = (x - μ) / σ

 

Therefore, the Z-score for any mean μ is 0, since a data point with the same value as the mean has a Z-score of 0.
