Z Score
• The z value or z score tells the number
of standard deviations the original
measurement is from the mean.
• The z value is in standard units.

Calculating z-scores
The amount of time it
takes for a pizza delivery
is approximately normally
distributed with a mean of
25 minutes and a standard
deviation of 2 minutes.
Convert 21 minutes to a
z-score.
