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

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.
No. The standard deviation is not exactly a value but rather how far a score deviates from the mean.
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
negative nine is the value of negative nine
The opposite is: negative (the absolute value of negative 30).
