Answer :
Answer:
The correct answer is A. -1.69
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
Mean of the popping time of the kernels in a brand of microwave popcorn = 150 seconds
Standard deviation of the popping time of the kernels in a brand of microwave popcorn = 13 seconds
Time that first kernel pops = 128 seconds
2. What is the z-score of this kernel? Round your answer to two decimal places.
z-score = (Time that first kernel pops - Mean of the popping time)/Standard deviation of the popping time
Replacing with the real values, we have:
z-score = (128 - 150)/13
z-score = -22/13
z-score = - 1.69
The correct answer is A. -1.69
