🔢 Z-Score Calculator

Z-Score (−4 to 4)

Left tail

—

Φ(z) = P(Z ≤ z)

Right tail

—

P(Z > z)

Two-tail

—

P(|Z| ≤ |z|)

Φ(z) = P(Z ≤ z) — cumulative from −∞ to z
1 − Φ(z) = P(Z > z) — right tail
2Φ(|z|) − 1 = P(−|z| ≤ Z ≤ |z|) — central area
Φ(−z) = 1 − Φ(z) — symmetry of normal dist.

What is this?

The Z-Table shows the probability that a value falls below a given z-score in a standard normal distribution — the symmetric bell curve centred at zero with standard deviation of one.

Why does it matter?

The Z-Table is used in statistics, psychology, biology, and standardized testing (SAT, GRE) to calculate percentiles, compare datasets, and test scientific hypotheses.

Key terms

Z-score — how many standard deviations a value is from the mean: z = (x − μ) / σ Standard deviation (σ) — measures how spread out data is around the mean Normal distribution — a symmetric, bell-shaped distribution of data around its mean Percentile — the percentage of data values falling below a given point Mean (μ) — the centre of the distribution where data clusters most densely

🎯 Try this challenge

What percentage of data in a normal distribution falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean? Look up z = 1.00 and z = −1.00 in the table, then calculate the area between them.
