The statement "After the scores in a distribution are standardized, the revised z-scores are always the same as the original z-scores" is false.

Is the statement true or false?

After the scores in a distribution are standardized, the revised z-scores are not always the same as the original z-scores.

Standardizing a distribution involves transforming the original scores into z-scores, which represent the number of standard deviations a particular score is from the mean of the distribution.

If the original distribution has a different mean and standard deviation than the standard normal distribution (with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1), then the standardized z-scores will not be the same as the original z-scores.
