Let X be normally distributed with mean μ and standard deviation σ > 0. Which of the following is false about the z value corresponding to a given x value?Multiple ChoiceA positive z = (x − μ)/σ indicates how many standard deviations x is above μ.The z value corresponding to x = μ is zero.The z value corresponding to a given value of x assumes any value between 0 and 1.A negative z = (x − μ)/σ indicates how many standard deviations x is below μ.

Solution

The false statement is: "The z value corresponding to a given value of x assumes any value between 0 and 1." This is incorrect because the z value, or z score, can assume any real number, positive or negative, depending on whether the value of x is above or below the mean μ. It is not limited to the range between 0 and 1.
