Thus, a positive standard score indicates a datum above the mean, while a negative standard score indicates a datum below the mean.hus, a positive standard score indicates a datum above the mean, while a negative standard score indicates a datum below the mean.
Z Score also known as Standard Score, is the method of calculating how many standard deviations in a data set is above or below the mean. The distance between the mean and a given Z score in every normal distribution cuts off a fixed ratio of the total area below the curve. Z scores are particularly informative when the distribution to which they refer is normal.
