Z – score or Standard
Score?
To convert a raw score to its corresponding score, use
the formula:

where is the raw score, is the population mean, and

is the population standard deviation.

Data ANALYSIS

Recall….
The Standard Normal Distribution
expressed in a graph as a normal curve with the following
properties:
• the graph is a bell-shaped curve;
• the graph is asymptotic to the x-axis
• the total area under the standard normal curve is 1
