- The z-score can be calculated by subtracting the population mean from the raw score, or data point in question (a test score, height, age, etc.), then dividing the difference by the population standard deviation: z = x - μ σ where x is the raw score, μ is the population mean, and σ is the population standard deviation.

The scores on a certain college entrance exam are normally distributed with mean μ = 82 and standard deviation σ = 8. Approximately what percentage of students score less than 84 on the exam? Step 1: Find the z-score. First, we will find the z-score associated with an exam score of 84: z-score = (x – μ) / σ = (84 – 82) / 8 = 2 / 8 = 0.25 Step 2: Us...
The height of plants in a certain garden are normally distributed with a mean of μ = 26.5 inches and a standard deviation of σ = 2.5 inches. Approximately what percentage of plants are greater than 26 inches tall? Step 1: Find the z-score. First, we will find the z-score associated with a height of 26 inches. z-score = (x – μ) / σ = (26 – 26.5) / 2...
The weight of a certain species of dolphin is normally distributed with a mean of μ = 400 pounds and a standard deviation of σ = 25 pounds. Approximately what percentage of dolphins weigh between 410 and 425 pounds? Step 1: Find the z-scores. First, we will find the z-scores associated with 410 pounds and 425 pounds z-score of 410 = (x – μ) / σ = (...
