What is a z-score?

Back

A z-score indicates how many standard deviations an element is from the mean. It is calculated as (X - μ) / σ, where X is the value, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation.

Front

How do you calculate the z-score for a given value?

Back

To calculate the z-score, use the formula: z = (X - μ) / σ, where X is the value, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation.

Front

What does a positive z-score indicate?

Back

A positive z-score indicates that the value is above the mean.

Front

What does a negative z-score indicate?

Back

A negative z-score indicates that the value is below the mean.

Front

What is the empirical rule in statistics?

Back

The empirical rule states that for a normal distribution, approximately 68% of the data falls within one standard deviation of the mean, 95% within two standard deviations, and 99.7% within three standard deviations.
