Find the z-scores for each student's commute time. 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Standard normal distribution:

The standard normal distribution is a special case of normal distribution, in which the mean of the distribution is 0 and standard deviation of the distribution is 1. The Z-scores can be calculated using the given formula.

For raw score:

z=x-μσ

where, x is the normal random variable

µ is the mean, and

σ is the standard deviation
