The central limit theorem can be used to analyze round-off error. Suppose that the round-off error on one number is represented as a uniform random variable on [−0.5,0.5]. If 100 different numbers are added, find the probability that the total round-off error exceeds 1, 2, and 5

The central limit theorem states that
the sum of a large number of independent observations from the same distribution has, under certain general conditions, an approximate normal distribution.

well, so far i got
f(x)= 1/(0.5+0.5)=1
variance=1/12
mean=0
i think i need to use this equation Z=(x-mean)/square root variance
i don't know what i should do next
Calculate the z-values for the given situations.
