Step 1
z-score:
The z score determines how far the individual measurement is from the value of mean. If the value of z score is negative then measurement is below the mean and if the value of z score is positive then measurement is above the mean.
Step 2
If the value of z score is -1.5, it determines that the measurement is 1.5 standard deviations below the value of mean.
Correct Answer: Option C. The measurement is 1.5 standard deviations less than the mean.
