The concept of a z-score in the field of statistics denotes the number of standard deviations a particular data point is away from the mean. Essentially, it provides a measurement of how atypical a specific value is. The process of determining the z-score involves subtracting the mean from the data point in question, then dividing the result by the standard deviation. This method proves beneficial when comparing scores across varying distributions.
