Answer:

False

Explanation:

The standard normal distribution is represented by P(-zc < z < zc) = c

From this, you see that -zc is less than the variable of interest z and z is less than zc.

The equation simply means that the probability that -zc is less than z and z is less than zc, is c.

The value zc is NOT a value from the above distribution. All values in the distribution are of the variable z. For example, z might be equal to 1, z might be equal to 6, but the variable of interest in the distribution is z, not zc.
