14. No. This will be true only in a symmetric distribution; in a skewed distribution, the mean (z50) and the median will not be the same. Where skew is positive, less than half the z scores in a distribution will be positive; where skew is negative, less than half the z scores will be negative. (If this puzzles you, draw a picture of the two distributions along with the relative positions of the mean and median.)
