Bennie D Waller, Longwood University The Standard Normal Probability Distribution The standard normal distribution is a normal distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. It is also called the z distribution. A z-value is the signed distance between a selected value, designated X, and the population mean , divided by the population standard deviation, σ. The formula is: 7-8 Converting to Standard Normal Distribution
