PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWER ONLY PLEASE!!!

Suppose the ages of cars driven by employees at a company are normally distributed with a mean of 8 years and a standard deviation of 3.2 years.

What is the z-score of a car that is 6 years old?

Answer 1

Answer: b) -0.625

Explanation:

The formula for the z-score is:

`z=(x-\mu)/(\sigma)\\\\\bullet z \text{ is the z-score}\\\bullet x \text{ is the value}\\\bullet \mu \text{ is the mean}\\\bullet \sigma \text{ is the standard deviation}\\\\z=(6-8)/(3.2)\\\\\\.\ =(-2)/(3.2)\\\\\\.\ =\large\boxed{-.0625}`
