Z-Score Calculator

Find how many standard deviations a value is from the mean.

Z-score 1.5

Formula: z = (x − μ) ÷ σ

Step-by-step with your numbers:
1. Values used:
2. Value (x) = 85
3. Mean (μ) = 70
4. Standard deviation (σ) = 10
5.
6. Z-score = 1.5
Did we solve your problem today?

A z-score tells you how unusual a value is within its distribution.

The math behind it

z = (value − mean) ÷ standard deviation. z = 2 means two standard deviations above the mean.

Worked example

x 85, μ 70, σ 10 → z = 1.5.
