Normal Distribution Scores

Standard Normal Z-Score Formula

Transparent mathematical methodology explained in plain English.

Z = (X - μ) / σ

Normalizes a score X relative to population mean μ and standard deviation σ.

Variables Explained:

  • X: Individual raw data point.
  • μ: Mean of the distribution.
  • σ: Standard deviation (must be > 0).
Real Project Example

Exam Score of 85 with Mean 75 and Std Dev 5

Finding relative standing on normal curve.

Sample Project Inputs:
Raw Score X: 85
Mean μ: 75
Std Dev σ: 5
Step-by-Step Calculation:
  1. Deviation from mean: 85 - 75 = 10.
  2. Z = 10 / 5 = 2.0.
  3. A Z-score of +2.0 corresponds to the 97.72 percentile.
Calculated Answer: Z-Score = +2.0 (97.7th percentile).
