How to read z score. Go to the row that represents the ones digit and the first digit after the decimal point the tenths digit of your z value. To find the probability that z is between two values use the z table to find the probabilities corresponding to each z value and then find the difference between the probabilities. For example consider a data set with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 2. Here you want the probability that z is between 1 0 and 1 0. Music is made up of a variety of symbols the most basic of which are the staff the clefs and the notes.
In order to find out how well helen did her iq test points need to be converted to a standardized z score using the following formula.

Since probability tables cannot be printed for every normal distribution as there is an infinite variety of normal distribution it is common practice to convert a normal to a standard normal and then use the z score table to find. A negative z score reveals the raw score is below the mean average. 74 62 11 1 09090909. A z score of zero means that the data value equals the mean. We can round this number to 1 09 which is the standardized score same as z score that we are going to use.
This will be the case anytime the mean and the data value are the same. Intersect the row and column from steps 1 and 2. In part a 73 had a z score of 1 34615 with a cumulative area to the left of 0 0901 or 9 01. Z x μ σ 50 50 2 0 2 0. To find the percentage of the area that lies above the z score take the total area under a normal curve which is 1 and subtract the cumulative area to the left of the z score.
Z score also known as the standard score indicates how many standard deviations an entity is from the mean. All music contains these fundamental components and to learn how to read music you must first familiarize yourself with these basics. For example if a z score is equal to 1 it is 1 standard deviation above the mean. First use the z table to find the value where the row for 1 0 intersects with 0 00 which is 0 1587. A positive z score indicates the raw score is higher than the mean average.
