If z is the z-score for a value x from the normal distribution N(μ,σ) then z tells you how many standard deviations x is above (greater than) or below (less than) μ. ...If z is the z-score for a value x from the normal distribution N(μ,σ) then z tells you how many standard deviations x is above (greater than) or below (less than) μ. 6.3 Estimating the Binomial with the Normal Distribution The normal distribution, which is continuous, is the most important of all the probability distributions. A special normal distribution, called the standard normal distribution is the distribution of z-scores.
