Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!


Z-Scores is a statistical technique of calculating normal distribution in a set of data.It explains whether a particular score is equal to the mean, below the mean or above the mean of a bunch of scores. They can also tell us how far a particular score is away from the mean. It tries go establish how a score is close to the mean or far away.Given a graph of normal distribution ,we can identify the difference by identifying a Z score by finding the difference between a graph.

for example the point in a disribution curve is 1.6 Then we can find the difference from the centre by subtracting 0.5 if its positive and use the difference to find the z score from the table......,continuing..a minute please please!!

Please let me know if you need any clarification. I'm always happy to answer your questions.
