Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. Z=X−μσZ = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} shifts the mean to 0 and scales the spread to 1.

  2. So ZZ has mean 0 and standard deviation 1, whatever XX was.

Worth noting

μ\mu and σ\sigma belong to the original variable XX, not to ZZ.
