A runner’s distribution of times for running 1,000 meters has a mean of 4.5 minutes with a standard deviation of 0.75 minutes. One of the runner’s times has a z-score of –1.08. Which of the following statements is the best interpretation of this z-score? This runner’s time was faster than the mean time by 0.75 standard deviations.
This runner’s time was faster than the mean time by 1.08 standard deviations.
This runner’s time was slower than the mean time by 0.75 standard deviations.
This runner’s time was slower than the mean time by 1.08 standard deviations.

I believe it is (C).

This runner’s time was slower than the mean time by 0.75 standard deviations.

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
