Standard deviation is a measure of the spread of data around the mean. The standardized value or z-score, tells how many standard deviations the measurement is away from the mean, and in which direction.z score = (observation - mean) / standard deviationStandard deviation is the unit measurement. This tells what the value a decimal is.
The answer depends on the individual measurement in question as well as the mean and standard deviation of the data set.
gives a standardized unit that tells how far away each measurement is from the mean
95 percent of measurements are less than 2 standard deviations away from the mean, assuming a normal distribution.
z-score or standard score... tells you how many standard deviations away from the mean a particular number is in relations to all numbers in a population (or sample)
The "z-score" is derived by subtracting the population mean from the measurement and dividing by the population standard deviation. It measures how many standard deviations the measurement is above or below the mean. If the population mean and standard deviation are unknown the "t-distribution" can be used instead using the sample mean and sample deviation.
