Understanding z scores
Standard scores • Standard scores assume a normal distribution • They provide a method of expressing any score in a distribution in terms of its distance from the mean in standard deviation units
Z-score • A raw score by itself is rather meaningless. • What gives the score meaning is its deviation from the mean • A Z score expresses this value in standard deviation units
Z-score Raw score Mean Standard deviation
Z score formula
Z score computation

Calculating Z-scores

Calculating Z-scores. A z-score tells you where you are on the generic normal distribution curve Most z-scores are between -3 and 3 (because 99.7% of the data is between -3 and 3!). Finding a z-score: the formula. (where x is the data value).
