To find a negative value such as -0.83, one could use a cumulative table for negative z-values [3] which yield a probability of 0.20327. But since the normal distribution curve is symmetrical, probabilities for only positive values of Z are typically given.
Comparison of the various grading methods in a normal distribution, including: standard deviations, cumulative percentages, percentile equivalents, z-scores, T-scores. In statistics, the standard score is the number of standard deviations by which the value of a raw score (i.e., an observed value or data point) is above or below the mean value of what is being observed or measured.
Because of the central limit theorem, many test statistics are approximately normally distributed for large samples.Therefore, many statistical tests can be conveniently performed as approximate Z-tests if the sample size is large or the population variance is known.
Positive data: Data that enable the investigator to reject a null hypothesis. Alternative hypothesis (H 1) Suppose the data can be realized from an N(0,1) distribution. For example, with a chosen significance level α = 0.05, from the Z-table, a one-tailed critical value of approximately 1.645 can be obtained.

The variance of X is a k×k symmetric positive-definite matrix V. The multivariate normal distribution is a special case of the elliptical distributions . As such, its iso-density loci in the k = 2 case are ellipses and in the case of arbitrary k are ellipsoids .
Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals is closing in on the NHL career goals record of 894 held by Wayne Gretzky. Ovechkin has 868 goals after scoring 15 in the first 18 games this season.
