Assume mean = 50, sd= 10; than 68% of scores between 40 & 60. Knowing how scores are distributed allows comparisons among individual scores. Examine how far away individual score is from mean in sd units. Describe normal distribution with z= mean = 0 sd = 1. When original distribution has mean of 100 and sd of 15.
