The correct answer is z=-1.49.

Explanation:

We use a z-table to find the answer. Instead of looking at the values to the left of the table, which show us the z-score, we look in the center to find the area to the left of the z-score in the curve. We know we want 6.8% of the data to fall to the left of the score; 6.8% = 6.8/100 = 0.068. In the center cells of the table, the z-score that is closest to this score is - 1.49.
