Answer: C.-1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The burning time of a very large candle is normally distributed with mean(\mu) of 2500 hours and standard deviation(\sigma) of 20 hours.

Let X be a random variable that represent the burning time of a very large candle.

Formula: Z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

For X = 2470

Z=\dfrac{2470-2500}{20}\\\\\Rightarrow\ Z=\dfrac{-30}{20}\\\\\Rightarrow\ Z=\dfrac{-3}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ Z=-1.5

So, the z-score they corresponds to a lifespan of 2470 hours. =-1.5

Hence, the correct option is C.-1.5.

1) The process of cellular respiration takes place in the mitrochondria.
2) The process of photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts. Only plant cells and the cells of autotrophic protists and some bacteria undergo this process.
3) Phospholipids are lipids that consist of glycerol joined to two fatty acids and a phosphate group, which gives this molecule two nonpolar hydrophobic tails and a polar hydrophilic head. Phospholipids form bilayers that are used to make up biological membranes.
4)While there are definitely many more than 4 important molecules, I'm assuming the ones you are looking for are carbohydrates, proteins, Nucleic acids, and lipids.
5)A molecule is made up of two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds, whereas a compound is a substance containing two or more elements in a fixed ratio. Both molecules and compounds are made up of atoms/elements, however, compounds MUST be made up of two different kinds of elements, while molecules could consist of the same kind.

Hope this helps! :)
