Here's how to calculate the z-score:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "* **Understanding Z-score:** A z-score tells you how many standard deviations a data point is from the mean of a distribution.
\n" ); document.write( "* **Formula:** z = (x - μ) / σ
\n" ); document.write( " * Where:
\n" ); document.write( " * x = the data point (4 in this case)
\n" ); document.write( " * μ = the mean of the distribution (12)
\n" ); document.write( " * σ = the standard deviation of the distribution (5)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "* **Calculation:**
\n" ); document.write( " * z = (4 - 12) / 5
\n" ); document.write( " * z = -8 / 5
\n" ); document.write( " * z = -1.6\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "* **Result:** The z-score is -1.60.
\n" ); document.write( "
