Yes. However, because the distribution is symmetric about 0, some tables give only positive values for z.

What is the meaning of a negative z score?

A negative z score is a value that is less than the mean value.


What does a negative z-score mean?

z-score of a value=(that value minus the mean)/(standard deviation). So if a value has a negative z-score, then it is below the mean.


Does a negative z score yield a negative probability value?

no, z score can be negative but a probability is a always positive between 0 and 1.


Is it true any score with value less than the population mean will have a negative z-score?

Yes. If a score is below the mean, the z score will be negative.


How do you interpret a negative z- score?

A negative z-score indicates that the observed value (or statistic) was below the mean. In non-directional tests, a negative z-score is just as likely as a positive one.


Can a negative z score be greater than a positive z score?

Assume the z-score is relative to zero score. In simple terms, assume that we have 0 < z < z0, where z0 is the arbitrary value. Then, a negative z-score can be greater than a positive z-score (yes). How? Determine the probability of P(-2 < z < 0) and P(0 < z < 1). Then, by checking the z-value table, you should get: P(-2 < z < 0) ≈ 0.47725 P(0 < z < 1) ≈ 0.341345


What is the z-score for the area equals 0.7704?

In a standard normal distribution curve, one half of the area is .5 (or 50%). 0 is the middle value of the z-score. So, for an area of .7704, z must be negative. Also, the area from 0 to z (which is negative) must be equal to .2704. From the normal probability table, this value is -0.74 Therefore, the z-score for the area equals 0.7704 is -0.74


What is the value of a 'z' score of 0?

A z-score of 0 means the value is the mean.


How do you find probabilty of negative z score?

Let z be positive so that -z is the negative z score for which you want the probability. Pr(Z < -z) = Pr(Z > z) = 1 - Pr(Z < z).


How do you find out the z-score?

z-score of a value=(that value minus the mean)/(standard deviation)


What is meant by a z-score?

z-score of a value=(that value minus the mean)/(standard deviation)


How is the z-score depicted?

z-score of a value=(that value minus the mean)/(standard deviation)
