Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A z distribution is a distribution of standardized scores or z scores. It is created by subtracting the mean from each score in a distribution and dividing the result by the standard deviation, resulting in a distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. This allows for easier comparison of scores from different distributions. The other answer choices (A, C, D) either do not accurately describe a distribution of z scores or are not specific enough to be the best choice.
