The z-score represents the number of standard deviations between an observation and the mean. Whatever scale is used for æ on a normal curve, we can associate a value of z with each value of a.
We use z to find the area under the normal curve between two scores. To do so,we use the standard normal table. The table gives area between the mean and aZ-score for selected z-scores. So as 15% of the result is to the right of 2, and the normal distribution is symmetric with the area below the normal curve 1, is 0.5 on the left and right sides of the mean. This actually means that between z and the mean is 35%, so the area between z and the mean is 0.35. Using the table of standard normal distribution we can see that the area A = 0.35 corresponds to z = 1.04.
