Z-Score Calculator

Compute standard deviation units from the population or sample mean.

Calculated Z-Score
1.5000
Percentile: 93.32% (Area to the left)
Step-by-Step Calculation:
$$ z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} = \frac{85 - 70}{10} = \frac{15}{10} = 1.5000 $$

Population Z-Score Formula

Standard score using population parameters $\mu$ and $\sigma$:

$$ z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} $$

How to calculate:

$$ \text{Numerator} = x - \mu, \quad z = \frac{\text{Numerator}}{\sigma} $$

Sample Z-Score Formula

Standard score using sample mean $\bar{x}$ and sample standard deviation $s$:

$$ z = \frac{x - \bar{x}}{s} $$

Inverse (converting $z$ back to $x$):

$$ x = \mu + z \times \sigma $$
