Now we see a new column is created, which is the Z value for each data. Move the variable to the right and check the box “Save standardized values as variables”Ĭlose the Statistics Viewer (because we don’t need this) and go back to Data View. Navigate to Analyze > Descriptive Statistics > Descriptives Input the value 1 to 5 in SPSS Data View.
Assume that X=10 =NORM.S.DIST(STANDARDIZE(10,AVERAGE(data_rng),STDEV.P(data_rng)),TRUE) Use SPSS to calculate Z Score and probability This method assumes that we still have not found the Z score yet. If cumulative is TRUE, NORM.DIST returns the cumulative distribution function if FALSE, it returns the probability mass function. A logical value that determines the form of the function. The standard deviation of the distribution. Assume that we have already found Z Score, which is 1 =NORM.S.DIST(1,TRUE)Īssume that we haven’t found the Z score for X=10, then =NORM.S.DIST(STANDARDIZE(10,AVERAGE(data_rng),STDEV.P(data_rng)),TRUE) Method 2: Use NORM.DIST to calculate probability directly Syntax of Norm.DIST Function NORM.DIST(x,mean,standard_dev,cumulative) X This method directly converts Z Score to probability. If cumulative is TRUE, NORMS.DIST returns the cumulative distribution function if FALSE, it returns the probability mass function. Cumulative is a logical value that determines the form of the function. The value for which you want the distribution. Method 1: Use NORM.S.DIST to convert Z score to probability Syntax of Norm.S.DIST Function NORM.S.DIST(z,cumulative) Z
In Excel, the probability is 0.07869, which is approximately equal to 0.5-0.492. Therefore, if you are trying to get the same result as Standard Normal Table does, subtract 0.5 by the Excel result and then apply absolute value.įor example, for Z score = 2.41, probability = 0.492 according to the Standard Normal Table. Standard Normal Table finds the probability from 0 to Z, while Excel calculates from infinity to Z. How Excel calculates probability is different from the Standard Normal Table. This Function is a bit cleaner than Method 1, but we still need the help of AVERAGE and STDEV.P Functions.įor X = 10 =STANDARDIZE(10,AVERAGE(data_rng),STDEV.P(data_rng)) Use Excel to calculate Z Score and probability If you want to calculate sample standard deviation, use STEDEV.Sįor example, type the below formula to find Z score for X = 10 =(10-AVERAGE(data_rng))/STDEV.P(data_rng) Method 2: Use Standardize Function Syntax of Standardize Function STANDARDIZE(x, mean, standard_dev) = (target value - population mean) / population standard deviationįollow the Z score formula with the help of Average Function to calculate mean and use STEDEV.P to calculate the population standard deviation.
If we calculate Z Score manually, we use the below formula Z score = (X-μ)/σ Method 1: Use AVERAGE and STDEV.P Functions Assume that we have a population data range named data_rng. There are two ways for Excel to calculate Z Score.
Without the population standard deviation, we use T Test (also known as Student’s t Test) to interference the population mean from sample mean. In reality, we do not have data of the whole population. To inference using sample mean, when the population standard deviation and population mean are known, we can use Z test to interference the population mean from sample mean. In statistical inference, we are interested to know whether a small sample comes from a population.
