For A Normal Distribution, A Negative Value Of Z Indicates:

A. The z is to the right of the mean.

B. A mistake has been made in computations, because z is always positive.

C. the area corresponding to the z is negative.

D. the z is to the left of the mean.

The correct answer is D



A Negative Value Of Z Indicates the z is to the left of the mean.

Explanation:
Z is the number of standard deviations from the mean given by the formula: 
z = ( X - μ ) ÷ ( σ ). a negative value means that the number of standard deviations of an observation is to the left of the mean.
