A person with a T score of greater than 50, must have a negative z score.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is incorrect. A T score of greater than 50 does not necessarily mean that the corresponding z score is negative. The relationship between T scores and z scores depends on the mean and standard deviation of the distribution, and it is possible for a T score of greater than 50 to have a positive z score if the mean and standard deviation are appropriately adjusted.
