View Z Star Statistics Table Background. Table entries for z represent the area under the bell curve to the left of z. The table below shows the area under the standard normal curve to the left of z.
Please enter the value of p above, and then press calculate z from p. Part of our free statistics package; What is a z table?
The table value for z is the value of the cumulative normal distribution at z.
Statext is a statistical program for personal use. If you don't see the answer you need, try the statistics glossary or check out stat trek's tutorial on the normal distribution. According to the theorem, sample statistics—in particular sample means—obtained (theoretically) under repeated random sampling follow a normal distribution centered over the true population mean and with a standard deviation. Functions based on the normal distribution are easy to retrieve in code or excel, so we do not really need z tables anymore, in practice.
