A z-score tells you how many standard deviations your score is away from the mean. If z is positive, your score is above the mean. If z is negative, your score is below the mean. If your score is at the mean, z = 0.Take your score (X) and subtract the mean from it. X with a bar over it is the symbol for the mean, and it’s pronounced bar-x (like the ranch on an old cowboy movie).
Divide the result of your subtraction by the standard deviation.
