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


What is the z value corresponding to a number below the mean is?

The z value corresponding to a number below the mean is Negative.


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.


The z value corresponding to a number below the mean is always negative?

Yes.


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.


How do you determine if the critical z value of a standard normal distribution is positive or negative?

|z - 8| or whichever of (z - 8) and (8 - z) that is non-negative.


How can we assess differences in quality or performance by simply comparing z values under a standard normal curve?

z value looks at standard deviations away from the mean. if its tests scores, a higher positive z value means they are higher away from the mean in a positive direction the opposite is true for a negative z score.
