Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation:
By definition, the z-score of the random variable, x, is

z = (x - \mu)/(\sigma)
where
μ = the population mean
σ = the population standard deviation

Because only the sample mean and the sample standard deviations are known, we cannot calculate the z-score. Instead, we can calculate the Student t-test statistic.
