Given:

Data value=100Mean=60Standard deviation=8\begin{aligned} \text{Data value}&=100 \\ \text{Mean}&=60 \\ \text{Standard deviation}&=8 \end{aligned}

We need to determine the z-score corresponding to the data value.

The z-score is the difference between the data value and the mean, divided by the standard deviation.

z=Data valueMeanStandard deviation\begin{aligned} z&=\frac{\text{Data value}-\text{Mean}}{\text{Standard deviation}} \end{aligned}
