Z Score Table
Z Score Table
The standard normal table, also known as the z-score table, is a mathematical tool used to determine the cumulative distribution function values of the normal distribution. It allows us to find the probabilities associated with different z-scores. The z-score, which represents the number of standard deviations an entity is from the mean, is a way to compare results to a “normal” population.
Since it is not feasible to create probability tables for every possible normal distribution, a common practice is to convert the normal distribution to a standard normal distribution using the z-score. The z-score is calculated by subtracting the mean from the test value and dividing the result by the standard deviation:
Where:
z is the z-score.
x is the observed value.
μ is the mean of the population.
σ is the standard deviation of the population.
Interpreting z-scores follows a simple guideline:
-
A z-score greater than 0 indicates an element above the mean.
-
A z-score of 0 represents an element equal to the mean.
-
A z-score of 1 signifies an element that is one standard deviation above the mean.
-
A z-score of 2 indicates two standard deviations above the mean, and so on.
-
Similarly, a z-score of -1 represents an element one standard deviation below the mean.
-
A z-score of -2 signifies two standard deviations below the mean, and so on.
For a large set of elements, approximately:
-
68% of the elements have a z-score between -1 and 1.
-
95% have a z-score between -2 and 2.
-
99% have a z-score between -3 and 3.
Understanding and utilizing z-scores and the standard normal table can provide valuable insights when analyzing data and comparing it to a standard population.
Normal Distribution PDF Formula

e is the base of the natural logarithm.
μ represents the mean of the distribution.σ represents the standard deviation of the distribution.e is the base of the natural logarithm.π is the mathematical constant pi (approximately 3.14159).
Normal Distribution CDF Formula
The cumulative density function (PDF) for a normal distribution is given by:
In the above formula:
μ represents the mean of the distribution.
σ represents the standard deviation of the distribution.
erf(z) is the error function, which calculates the integral of the standard normal distribution from -∞ to z.
√(2) is the square root of 2
