Answer

A -score indicates whether a particular value is typical for a population or data set. The closer the -score is to 0, the closer the value is to the mean of the population and the more typical it is. The -score is calculated by subtracting the mean of a population from the particular value in question, then dividing the result by the population's standard deviation.
