No, standardization does not change the general shape of its distribution; it only shifts the mean to zero and scales the standard deviation to one. It is a linear transformation, so a highly skewed distribution remains skewed after standardization.
Conditions: The dataset has a well-defined mean and standard deviation.; Standardization is applied as a linear transformation.

Standardization (or Z-score normalization) is a linear transformation that centers the data around zero and scales it to have a standard deviation of one. It subtracts the mean of the feature from each data point and divides by the standard deviation.
Conditions: Applied to a continuous numerical feature.; Requires knowing the mean and standard deviation of the feature.; The standard deviation must not be zero (to avoid division by zero).
