I am not sure who performed your FCE (meaning what "system" they used), but most likely "Medium" isn't really even a "score" per se. When someone who was evaluated in an FCE is applied the term "Medium" it is GENERALLY in reference to the Department of Labor (DOL) Strength Rating terminology. The "Revised Handbook for Analyzing Jobs" (RHAJ - the DOL "rulebook" so to speak), lists the Physical Demand Level (PDL) of "Medium" as:
"Exerting 20 to 50 pounds of force occasionally, or 10 to 25 pounds of force frequently, or greater than negligible up to 10 pounds of force constantly to move objects. Physical demand requirements are in excess of those for Light Work.
Examples given of the 6 different levels of Medium strength work within the RHAJ are:
M:1 Locates and moves materials and parts between work areas of plan to expedite processing of foods, lifting material usually weighing 15-20 pounds and occasionally weighing up to 50 pounds to place in car or hand truck.
M:2 Fastens metal objects to plating racks, carries filled racks weighing up to 20 pounds to cleaning, plating, and rinsing tanks, and immerses them in tanks.
M:3 Fabricates sheet metal articles, occasionally carrying tool and sheet metal weighing 50 pounds maximum to workbench. Lifts sheet metal to workbench and machine and pushes and pulls it into proper positions.
M:4 Carries lumber weighing occasionally up to 50 pounds from supply room to workbench, a distance of approximately 20 feet. Stands and bends most of the time to lift lumber and pushes and pulls lumber to position on workbench or machine.
M:5 Lifts, pushes and pulls tools to raise automobile, to remove tire from wheel, and to remount tire. Rolls tires, usually weighing approximately 20 pounds and occasionally weighing up to 50 pounds, to repair work area.
M:6 Dismantles, tests, adjusts, repairs, and installs engine parts of aircraft, walking and standing continuously. Frequently lifts and carries parts weighing up to 25 pounds for inspection and repair and pushes and pulls components to position on workbench."

If the Z Score of a test is equal to zero then the raw score of the test is equal to the mean. Z Score = (Raw Score - Mean Score) / Standard Deviation
Marriam-webster.com defines deficit in this way: "deficency in amount or quality, a lack or imparement in functional capacity, and disadvantage." Basically to have a deficit means to have less than you need.
Yes.z = (raw score - mean)/standard error.Since the standard error is positive, z < 0 => (raw score - mean) < 0 => raw score < mean.
my meld score is 16. what does that mean?
it means that the score is above the mean
medium bones
A score is equal to 20 units, so 5 scores would be 100 units in total.
If you mean passenger capacity, it is 5. If you mean oil capacity, it is 4.5 qts. If you mean fuel capacity, it is 18 gallons.
Yes. If a score is below the mean, the z score will be negative.
what does it mean to have a soil-less medium
The characters affect.
z-score of a value=(that value minus the mean)/(standard deviation). So if a value has a negative z-score, then it is below the mean.
