z SCORE

vCalc Reviewed
`"z SCORE" = z( X )`
`(X)"Numeric Observations"`
`(y)"Raw Score"`
`(SP)"Sample or Population?"`

The z SCORE calculator computes the number of standard deviations that an observation (y) is from the mean of a set of observations (X).  This is commonly known as the z SCORE.

INSTRUCTIONS: Enter the following:

  • (X) Numeric Values comma separated (e.g. 4,-1.2,8,9 )
  • (y) Single Observation (raw score) used to evaluate the z SCORE.
  • (SP) Is set X a sample or the population.

z SCORE (z): The  calculator returns the z SCORE value. This z SCORE calculator is also a prominent feature with other statistical functions in the College Level Statistics Calculator (Stat Calc).

The Math

The formula for the z SCORE is as follows:

     `z_y =   (y - μ_X)/s`   where:

        - y is the single observation
        - μ is the mean
        - s is the sample or population standard deviation.
