I haven't worked these through, but a couple of points:

1. XnN(μ,σ)X=1144(X1++X144)N(μ,σ2144)X_n \sim N(\mu,\sigma) \Rightarrow X=\frac{1}{144}(X_1 + \cdots + X_{144}) \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma^2}{144}) by the Central Limit Theorem and expectation algebra.

2. XN(0,1)X2χ12X \sim N(0,1) \Rightarrow X^2 \sim \chi_1^2 so adapt this for XN(0,3)X \sim N(0,3) then use the Central Limit Theorem.

Could you expand on the precise extent of your cluelessness? What didn't you follow?
