If X ~ N(μ,σ²), the standard normal variable Z =

Answer: (X - μ)/σ.

  • A X - μ
  • B (X - μ)/σ
  • C (X - μ)/σ²
  • D σX + μ

Correct answer: B. (X - μ)/σ

Explanation: Standardisation: Z = (X−μ)/σ. If X ~ N(μ,σ²), then E[Z] = (E[X]−μ)/σ = 0 and Var(Z) = σ²/σ² = 1, giving Z ~ N(0,1). Used to find probabilities via Z-tables for any normal distribution.
