Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Solution:

Use the z-score formula to normalize the income value.

  • Formula: z = (value − mean) / standard deviation

  • Plug in the numbers: value = 106000, mean = 96000, standard deviation = 21000.

  • Calculation: z = (106000 − 96000) / 21000 = 10000 / 21000 ≈ 0.476

Conclusion: The z-score normalized value closest to ₹106000 is 0.476.
