Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A negative standard score (also known as a z-score) means that the raw score was below the mean of the distribution, which is represented by a z-score of 0. A positive z-score indicates a raw score above the mean, and a z-score of 0 indicates a raw score equal to the mean. The sum of squares and standard deviation are not directly related to z-scores.
