Standard normal variable Z is___________?

Correct answer: A. x - µ /σ

  • A. x - µ /σ
  • B. µ- x /σ
  • C. σ - x/ µ
  • D. x - σ/ µ

Explanation

The standard normal variable is obtained by measuring X's deviation from the mean and expressing it in standard-deviation units: Z = (X − μ)/σ. Reversing the subtraction changes the sign and is not the standard definition.
