Engineering Probability
A z-score is a statistical measurement that describes a value's relation to the mean of a group of values, expressed in terms of standard deviations. It indicates how many standard deviations a data point is from the mean, allowing for the comparison of scores from different normal distributions. Z-scores are essential for understanding the position of a data point within a normal (Gaussian) distribution, helping to identify outliers and analyze probabilities.
