If the distribution is Gaussian (or Normal) use z-scores. If it is Student's t, then use t-scores.
No, the Z-test is not the same as a Z-score. The Z-test is where you take the Z-score and compare it to a critical value to determine if the null hypothesis will be rejected or fail to be rejected.
z-scores are distributed according to the standard normal distribution. That is, with the parameters: mean 0 and variance 1.
No, they do not. They are pure numbers.
Z scores are used for standardized testing done by most school districts. It is the most common way of standardizing data. IQ scores can be standardized using z scores. The mean is 100 and the standard deviation is 15. You use the t score when the sample is small, <30 often. Many behavior ratings use t scores.
If the distribution is Gaussian (or Normal) use z-scores. If it is Student's t, then use t-scores.
They should be.
True or False, One major advantage of transforming X values into z-scores is that the z-scores always form a normal distribution

Yes, although the z-scores associated with p-values of 0.01 and 0.05 have special significance, perhaps mostly for historical reasons, all possible z-scores from negative infinity to positive infinity have meaning in statistical theory and practice.
Z = (x minus mu) divided by sigma.
A Z score of 300 is an extremely large number as the z scores very rarely fall above 4 or below -4. About 0 percent of the scores fall above a z score of 300.
z-scores are distributed according to the standard normal distribution. That is, with the parameters: mean 0 and variance 1.

Best to use a histogram i think! z scores can probably be used too however they seem more a method of how to transform outliers in workable scores.
Z-scores, t-scores, and percentile ranks are all statistical tools used to understand and interpret data distributions. Z-scores indicate how many standard deviations a data point is from the mean, allowing for comparison across different datasets. T-scores, similar in function to z-scores, are often used in smaller sample sizes and have a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10, facilitating easier interpretation. Percentile ranks, on the other hand, express the relative standing of a score within a distribution, showing the percentage of scores that fall below a particular value, thus providing a different type of comparison.
