<p>A z-score is defined as the number of <span class="hint_green">standard deviations</span> a specific point is away from the <span class="hint_pink">mean</span>.</p>
<div>
<p>We can calculate the z-score for <var>person( 1 )</var>'s exam grade by subtracting the <span class="hint_pink">mean <code>(\mu)</code></span> from
<var>his( 1 )</var> grade and then dividing by the <span class="hint_green">standard deviation <code>(\sigma)</code></span>.</p>
