Wait, the median? Really? I thought Z-scores were all about the mean. Does the median even come into play here? Ugh, this is messing with my head.

Ha! Nice try, test writers. Z-scores are all about the mean, not the median. This is basic stats 101. B is the way to go.

Hmm, this one's tricky. Z-scores are supposed to be standard deviations from the mean, right? I'm leaning towards B, but I'm not 100% confident.

Yes, Z-scores measure the distance from the mean in standard deviations, so B is the correct answer.

Ah, the old median vs. mean trick. I'm going with B) False on this one - the Z-score is all about the mean and standard deviation.

Yes, that's correct. The Z score measures how many standard deviations a data point is from the mean.

I'm pretty sure the Z-score measures distance from the mean, not the median. Let's double-check that on the formula sheet.
