i don't know what you mean by top enclose.
i've never heard that before.
i'm assuming s means standard deviation or standard error.
i checked the web but found nothing that addresses what top enclose means in either algebra or statistics.
can you explain what is meant by that expression?

Hi  

a score of 40 on a test for which x̄ = 31 and s = 10: z+=+9%2Fsqrt%2810%29 = 2.846 
a score of 327.3 on a test for which x̄ = 294 and s = 37:  z = +33.3%2Fsqrt%2837%29 = 5.474**

Which score has a higher relative position
 score of 327.3 has a higher relative position

Wish You the Best in your Studies.
