When dealing with sets that have mutually disjointed (distinct) elements, IE they are under the system defined by Kolmogorov axioms, they cannot be negative. These are the probabilities normally dealt with.
However, when you deal with issues in quantum mechanics etc, where each element is not distinct, then negative probabilities arise and are used as an intermediary step.The end result will not contain a negative probability when dealing with such quasiprobability systems.

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.
Can probability be negative?
No, it can't.
Can probability outcomes be expressed as negative integer's?
The outcomes of a trial can be a negative integer but the probability of any outcome must be in the range [0, 1].
Can the experimental probability of an event be a negative number.if not why?
No; because probability can never be less than zero.
What is the probability of rolling a negative number on a number cube?
It depend how many negative numbers are written on the cube.
