  • Card 14 / 14:
    z-score

    the linear transformation of the form z = x   –   μ σ ; if this transformation is applied to any normal distribution X ~ N ( μ , σ ) the result is the standard normal distribution Z ~ N (0,1). If this transformation is applied to any specific value x of the RV with mean μ and standard deviation σ , the result is called the z -score of x . The z -score allows us to compare data that are normally distributed but scaled differently.
