Answer: b) -0.625

Explanation:

The formula for the z-score is:


z=(x-\mu)/(\sigma)\\\\\bullet z \text{ is the z-score}\\\bullet x \text{ is the value}\\\bullet \mu \text{ is the mean}\\\bullet \sigma \text{ is the standard deviation}\\\\z=(6-8)/(3.2)\\\\\\.\ =(-2)/(3.2)\\\\\\.\ =\large\boxed{-.0625}
