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.

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


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.
