Standard Scores and
the Normal Curve
STANDARD SCORE

▪ commonly known as a Z-score.

▪ is a very useful statistical model because
it allows us to determine the probability
of a score occurring within our normal
distribution and enables us to compare
two scores that are from different normal
distributions.

▪What is the Z-score of 40 in a

math test when the mean is 58
with a standard deviation of 9?
Answer: -2

 Examples:

▪ What is the area under the curve of a Z-score of 1.35?

▪ What is the area under the curve of a Z-score of -1.35?
▪ Find the area under the normal curve between Z-scores
of -1.51 and 1.51.
▪ Find the area under the normal curve between Z-scores
of -2.06 and 1.91.
 Examples:

▪ A group of Grade 11 students took a test in Mathematics and the

final grades have a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 10. If we
can approximate the distribution of these grades by a normal
distribution, what percent of the total number of students scored
higher than 80?
▪ The annual salaries of employees in a certain company are
approximately normally distributed with a mean of ₱180 000 and a
standard deviation of ₱20 000. What percentage of the employees
earn less than ₱150 000?

 1. Here are the scores of all 25 students in
Mr. Brown’s statistics class on their first test:

79818077738374937880756773
778386907985838984827772
a. Use the stem and leaf diagram(stemplet) to plot
the scores on Mr. Brown’s first test in statistics .
b. Find the percentiles of the following:
1. John, who earned a 72.
2. Mary, who scored 93.
3. The two students who earned scores of 80.
 The following mathematical notations will be used in
various solutions with regards to the normal curve.

▪ Look at the z-score table for the

corresponding value of k.

The probability can be

obtained by subtracting the
corresponding value of k
from 1.

Subtract the corresponding value of m from the corresponding value

of k.
