About this z-score calculator
z = (x − μ) ÷ σ: how many standard deviations a value sits from the mean. A score of 85 on a test with mean 70 and SD 10 is z = 1.5. Under a normal curve 93.32% of values fall below z = 1.5, so the score is at the 93rd percentile; 6.68% lie above, and the two-tailed p-value is 0.1336.
