A z-value is usually the result of a translation from a normally-distributed variable. Through the translation into a standard normal variable (with a mean of zero and a variance/standard deviation of one), the tables available in all statistical texts and all over the interweb can be used to calculate probabilities using the so-called "z-tables", or the fractiles of the standard normal distribution.

How do you graph normal distribution?

Tables of the cumulative probability distribution of the standard normal distribution (mean = 0, variance = 1) are readily available. Almost all textbooks on statistics will contain one and there are several sources on the net. For each value of z, the table gives Φ(z) = prob(Z < z). The tables usually gives value of z in steps of 0.01 for z ≥ 0. For a particular value of z, the height of the probability density function is approximately 100*[Φ(z+0.01) - Φ(z)]. As mentioned above, the tables give figures for z ≥ 0. For z < 0 you simply use the symmetry of the normal distribution.

What is a z-score?

z score is defined as z = (x-mean)/sd, where mean is the mean of the sample (or population) and sd is the standard deviation of the sample or the population. x is the raw score. z-score standardizes the data. The standardized data will have a zero mean and unit variance. It has numerous applications in statistics.


What does a negative z-score mean?

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.


What does the z stand for in distribution in statistics?

In statistics, the "z" in a z-distribution refers to a standardized score known as a z-score. This score indicates how many standard deviations an individual data point is from the mean of a distribution. The z-distribution is a specific type of normal distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1, allowing for comparison of scores from different normal distributions.


How do you find the critical value in statistics?

To find the critical value in statistics, it requires a hypothesis testing. Using the critical value approach can also be helpful in this matter.
