Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a normal distribution of scores is standardized, the mean is shifted to 0 and the standard deviation is scaled to 1, resulting in a distribution of scores with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. Additionally, each individual score is converted to a Z score, which represents the number of standard deviations that a score falls above or below the mean. Therefore, all of the choices are correct.
