Hi, I need help with my statistics assignment. How can I find the p value from z score?
Hello! Don't worry, I'm here to guide you along. First, you would need to use a standard normal distribution table, or an online tool such as a Z-table calculator. Do you have access to any of these?
Yes, I have a standard normal distribution table.
Great! Let's proceed. The Z score tells you how many standard deviations an element is from the mean. If you're looking to get the p value, you'd need to find the corresponding probability that matches your Z score in the standard normal distribution table. This probability is essentially your p value.
I see, so the p value will show the probability of my data given a standard deviation from the norm. But what if I have a negative Z score?
Good question! For a negative Z-score, the p-value is simply the probability that lies to the left of the Z-score on the standard normal curve. It represents the cumulative probability up to that point. I hope this clarifies things for you!
