z score calculator

z score is a number used to measure position in a normal distribution You use this simulator to review this concept. Below is an "original distribution" of IQ scores with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 10. Next to it is the "standard normal distribution"

In the above distribution, keep the mean at 100 and the standard deviation at 10. Move the green point to 120. What is the z score?

Describe how the z score is calculated.

If you are given a normal distribution with mean 50 and standard deviation of 15. How standard deviations above the mean is 80? (---how many times can you add 15 to 50 to get 80?)
