Answer:

C

Explanation:

In this question, we are interested in calculating the z-score of a company employee.

Mathematically;

z-score = (x- mean)/SD

where in this case;

x is the value given which turns out to be the annual salary of the employee = 28,000

Mean = 34,000

standard deviation = 4,000

Plugging these values into the equation above, we have;

z-score = (28000-34000)/4000 = -6000/4000 = -1.5
