Many histograms are close to the normal curve.
For these histograms, you can use the standard normal curve to estimate percentages for the data. But first you have to scale the data values to those of the standard normal curve. In other words, you have to change the horizontal scale to have an average of 0 and an SD =1. We do this by converting to standard units.
Standard Units (also known as z scores) indicate how many standard deviations above or below the average a value is. To use the standard normal curve all data values must be converted to standard units by the following:
The standard normal curve has a nice table attached to it that we can use to answer questions about the data after we convert to z scores. However since we are data scientists, instead of using the table, we can use Python to calculate any area under the standard normal curve.
Before we start calculating areas under the standard normal curve, we have to import a library to help us. The scipy library provides access to many different distributions in Python, including the normal distribution. Accessing the distribution requires importing a library:
We can also go backwards -- given an area to the left of the z-score, what is that z-score? We can use the probability point function or ppf to do this. For example, the command norm.ppf(.95) gives us the z-score in which the area to the left of it is 95%.
Lastly, knowing that the area under the standard normal curve is always 1 or 100%, we can use the cdf and ppf functions to answer any question about areas under the standard normal curve and z-scores :)

Hi, I need assistance debugging a program to build a Z-score table with the intention to reproduce in Mathcad a z-score table very similar to the one that we could create with an excel spreadsheet. This just for fun!
I posted a previous problem some weeks ago concerning debugging a long expression for calculating the alcohol density given some temperature and some alcoholic strength. Luckily, one of the user identified my error and I got the expected results. Back then, my idea was to build a table similar to the one that you have just elegantly programmed. I was working on that too, modifying your procedure to suit such a long expression. I tried many different ways without luck. Here I attach the Mathcad worksheet and the density table as guide for a fix. I worked with a small subset of a whole table, with temperature ranging from 10 to 20 and the alcohol strength from 0.50 to 0.59. Have a look please, and tell me if there is a solution. Thank you!
Werner, I am so sorry for massacring your name. It was unintentionally. Why did you let my errors run for such a long time without warning me? You made me realize that I was mistyping your name since the beginning of this thread. I apology for that. On the opposite side, I celebrate your expertise and know how. You are really a very smart guy, a genius! People @ PTC need to hire persons like you!!
Your fix and your trick, worked awesome. After your brilliant fix, I modified your code to turn the first row into a column vector and the first column into a row vector to simulate the arrangement like in the alcohol density table attached earlier.
(2) Converting every score in the distribution (Math SAT) to a z-score with SPSS. To do this we need to go to "Analyze", "Descriptive Statistics", "Descriptives". Then check the box labeled "save standardized values as variables". After performing this operation, check the data window. There should be a new variable (called something like zsatm).
(a) Using SPSS make a histogram of the new zsatm variable, what does it look like (what is the shape)? How does it compare to the original satm histogram?
(b)What is the mean and standard deviation? Explain why we get these values for the mean and standard deviation (think about the z-score formula)?
Consider the following situation. You take the ACT test and the SAT test. You get a 26 on the ACT and a 620 on the SAT. The college that you apply to only needs one score. Which do you want to send them (that is, which score is better, 26 or 620?).
I have a spreadsheet that I think had been sorting correctly until I added two new rows to the worksheet today. They sort at the end whatever I do. Both are text columns (confirmed), my sort is simple, just on the two columns. There are only 11 columns used and now 287 rows including the header row (specified in the sort). I have tried resetting my user profile (and it definitely reset) and the issue is there even after exporting the worksheet to csv and sorting that, or the ods file saved from the csv. (csv here and ods here) Opening the csv in a text editor (emacs) I see nothing wrong and importing the csv into R it seems fine and in R it sorts fine. I think this is a bug! LO version is 7.3.7.2 Ubuntu package version 1:7.3.7.0Ubuntu0.22.04.4. Hm, I can confirm that the same seems to be true with version 7.5.7.1 running in Windows 10 running in a VirtualBox VM on the same Ubuntu machine.
The z-score is 0.67 (to 2 decimal places), but now we need to work out the percentage (or number) of students that scored higher and lower than Sarah. To do this, we need to refer to the standard normal distribution table.
With the GREEN FLYER taken from OTHERMART, SUNNY can access BRENT'S HOUSE to tutor BRENT on math. BRENT is waiting inside his room. There are a total of three multiple-choice math questions BRENT must solve with SUNNY's help:
If SUNNY has tutored BRENT during the last day, he will be able to visit his house again and BRENT still stays in his room. When talked to in the morning, BRENT tells SUNNY he has been cramp in his room all the summer to finish the worksheets. With the rare occasion that his mother would running errands all the day, BRENT asks if SUNNY can help him finish his worksheet for today, allowing him to hang out at the FARAWAY PARK.
After finishing the problems, SUNNY can find BRENT running around the slide in FARAWAY PARK, similar to his HEADSPACE counterpart BROWS. In the evening he returns to his room and tells SUNNY he should get back to studying.
If SUNNY refuses BRENT's request, he will feel sorry for the requisition and ask them not to tell to his mother, keeping staying in his room. He becomes disappointed for not being able to go outside, which also happens if SUNNY visits him only till the evening.
BRENT stays in his room in the morning, he thanks SUNNY for helping him with the worksheet, and also letting him sneaking out if SUNNY helped him on TWO DAYS LEFT too. In the afternoon he can be found sitting with his parents in the dining room, talking about the early return of PHARMACIST.
For this z-score worksheet, students identify the z-scores and percentiles corresponding to thirteen values. Students are also asked to find two probabilities. Worked solutions are provided after each question.
Since probability tables cannot be printed for every normal distribution, as there is an infinite variety of normal distribution, it is common practice to convert a normal to a standard normal and then use the z-score table to find probabilities.
This means 89.44 % of the students are within the test scores of 85 and hence the percentage of students who are above the test scores of 85 = (100-89.44)% = 10.56 %.
Frequently Asked QuestionsQ1 What does the Z-Score Table Imply?The z score table helps to know the percentage of values below (to the left) a z-score in a standard normal distribution.
I have a very basic worksheet with multiple columns and rows. I usually will sort one column to sort a-z and normally all data for those rows would follow the sort. Suddenly I am finding that if I sort one column, the remaining columns do not sort, even though I choose the "Expand The Selection". I have also noticed that after sorting, the worksheet is split into one set of columns on the left side that did sort, another set of columns on the right did not follow the sort. It is split. I have about 45 columns and 150 rows so the worksheet is particularly large.
Excel automatically tries to find your total data range, and it stumbles over blank fields. So if your cursor is in a line where there a blank fields in some columns, Excel could miss the columns behind the blanks fields (and similar for blank rows). This is still true when you chose 'extend'.
One solution is to 1. use Autofilters, that will make Excel remember what is in your range; another is to 2. put the cursor in a field where there are no blank fields in the row (and column); a third way is to 3. select the whole range yourself; and of course, the problem goes away if you 4. don't have blank cells anywhere.
In my case it was because I had empty hidden columns between the content columns and for some reason Excel was considering them as some sort of separator. For example if I clicked Ctrl + A while having a cell selected, it would only select the columns between the nearest empty columns.
Does your data have filters? If so, select header row with filters, then remove all filters (right click, Filter, clear filter). Then select header row again, and add filters back. After doing so I was able to sort my data and all columns sorted. Hope this helps!
You most probably added new columns after filtering former columns, so new column headers "have NOT filter signs". Excel exclude these columns when you filter.So, clear filtering by clicking on Sort$Fliter>Filter, then add the filter sign to "all" columns again by hitting the Filter button again. There you go!
"Outliers" are defined as numeric values in any random data set, which have an unusually high deviation from either the statistical mean (average) or the median value. In other words, these numbers are either relatively very small or too big. Detecting the outliers in a data set represents a complex statistical problem, with a corresponding variety of different methodologies and computational techniques as described, for example, in the NIST publication [1]. In general, finding the "Outliers" in a data set could be done by calculating the deviation for each number, expressed as either a "Z-score" or "modified Z-score" and testing it against certain predefined threshold. Z-score typically refers to number of standard deviation relative to the statistical average (in other words, it's measured in "Sigmas"). Modified Z-score applies the median computation technique to measure the deviation and in many cases provides more robust statistical detection of outliers. Mathematically, the Modified Z-score could be written (as suggested by Iglewicz and Hoaglin [1]) as:
