Hi, great resource for quick and easy calculations; however, when I pop in a negative Z score (especially small negative scores) the accompanying graph does not represent the values of the percentiles given below. They don't make sense. Perhaps a glitch?

Viki - I think it is sad that Mensa would let you join after you "just took and IQ test"...guess their standards are getting lower.

Wonderful. I'm working on a new game and would like to check my figures.
Example: Successful events pay 8:1, the player wins 8 times the bet, or loses the bet. n = Number of events = 1000, r = Number of successful events = 101,
p = Probability of success on a single trial =0.10,
1-p = Probability of failure = 0.90. What is the Z score?

I just took and IQ test so that I can join mensa, and passed. I wanted to convert to percentile: 99.62. I think it's sad that so few people (including me) can understand math well enough to understand how the universe works. Apparently there's a whole cohort of people who feel this way and some have tried to redo physics so that it's easy. They seem to have a metaphysical notion that the universe just wouldn't be so complicated, maybe out of universal kindness, I don't know. A book "Physics on the Fringe" by Margaret Wortheim is about these fringe thinkers.

Really nice calculator of probability associated with Z score. The graphic of the normal curve really enhances understanding of this content.

Congratulations. I wish the figure of the normal curves decrible the data with more precision, but your calculator is very nice.

Thank you, Jeff, so much for making available this calculator. It is great. I have used it many times over several years. It is very handy for someone like me running a small non-proft research institute without a lot of "resources."

Be careful using this program. The answers are in percentages. If you want to use the results in equations or compare to probability z-score charts, you have to divide the right side result by 100.

Hi,
This calculation assumes a normal distibution of scores, right?
Lets say that I got a score of 404 in an exam and the mean is 271 and the SD is 50. The z-score will be 2.66 (z=x-m/sd).
Can I caluculate the percentile corresponding to the score of 404 without assuming a normal distribution of the scores?
Thank you

The pictures are helpful--made me more certain I was using it correctly. I compared the answers to a z-table and both gave the same answer (for 1-sided), so I felt confident I was getting using the info correctly. I don't understand the statistics, just needed to be able to convert a Std Deviation Score to a Percentile for a market potential calculation.

What was the formula that you used to find the area associated with each z-score?

Hi,
I have been using your tool to calculate percentiles from z-score values. Until like a week ago, it worked perfectly fine, but now, when I enter a z-score of 3, one-sided, the value under 100% should be the higher one (in fact, it should be close to 99). Now, however, the higher number is being reported under the % of area section - how can that be?

Your MS class all took the practice clinical certification exam. The following is a listing of the raw scores that you and your friends received. Compute the z scores for these raw scores where the mean is 55 and the standard deviation is 2.5. What is a “z” score? What does it tell you?

Scores: 60, 72, 48, 53, 56, 51, 50.5, 59.5
x (observation) = 8 mean = 55 standard deviation = 2.5

z = Observation - Mean
Standard Deviation

= 8 – 55 / 2.5 = - 18.8

I don't have a book to find the z score for -18.8. I am not even sure if that is possible to get a z score for -18.8. Thank you for your help.

How would I figure a z-score if the mean was 11.9, the std. deviation is .4 and I want to be 95% sure that a bag of chips did not weigh 12 Oz. as specified on bag, and I weighed 30 Bags?
