What is Z-Score?

A z-score says how many standard deviations a value sits from the mean: z = (x − mean) ÷ σ. It is what makes scores from different tests comparable — 85 on a test with mean 70 and σ 10 is z = 1.5, the same standing as 615 on a test with mean 600 and σ 10 — and it is the first step of every normal-distribution calculation.

How it works

Both ways of asking are supported. Supplied directly, the formula is applied as written. Supplied as a dataset, the mean and standard deviation are measured from the list first, so the two statistics the z-score is built on are reported rather than assumed — and the value being scored does not have to be one of the listed entries.
