Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. Subtracting μ\mu moves the mean to 0; dividing by σ\sigma makes the standard deviation 1.

  2. So Z=X−μσZ = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} has mean 0 and standard deviation 1.

Worth noting

X−μX - \mu has mean 0 but keeps the standard deviation σ\sigma.
