What z-score equation do we use on a continuous dataset? What is the equation that we should use on a proportion dataset?
-------------------------
z(x) = (x-mu)/sigma
------------------
OR
t(x) = (x-mu)/sigma
-------------------
If you do not have sigma you can substitute
The standard deviation of the sample.
