Which statement is correct when describing a standardized normal distribution?
A standardized normal distribution is known as z-distribution, which has a mean of μ and a standard deviation of σ
A standardized normal distribution is known as t-distribution, which has a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.
Values above the mean have positive z-values and values below the mean have negative z-values.
None of the above
