The Z score is a test of statistical significance that helps you decide whether or not to reject the null hypothesis. Z scores are measures of standard deviation. Lower z - score means closer to the meanwhile higher means more far away. Positive means to the right of the mean or greater while negative means lower or smaller than the mean.
Is a higher or lower Z score better? Z score shows how far away a single data point is from the mean relatively. Lower z-score means closer to the meanwhile higher means more far away. How do you interpret Z test? To determine whether to reject the null hypothesis, compare the Z-value to your critical value.
For a two-sided test, if the absolute value of the Z-value is greater than the critical value, you reject the null hypothesis. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. So for a z-score of -2, with a p-value of 0. Improve this answer. A z value of —2 yields a probability of 0. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google. Sign up using Facebook.

They are the ones with the negative sign in front of them. For example, look at the bottom most z-score, The absolute value of the z-score tells you how many standard deviations you are away from the mean. If a z-score is equal to 0, it is on the mean.
For example, imagine our Z-score value is 1. First, look at the left side column of the z-table to find the value corresponding to one decimal place of the z-score e.
In this case it is 1. Then, we look up a remaining number across the table on the top which is 0. Figure 2. The corresponding area is 0. Figure 3. To find the area to the right of a positive z-score, begin by reading off the area in the standard normal distribution table.
