The larger the z score is, negative or positive, tells you how unusual it is.\\
\subsection{Calculating percentiles and probabilities with normal models}
z scores can tell us $how$ unusual an observation is. This means that we start using z tables here.\\
$\textbf{Example} $\textbf{Example}$
ACT scores are distributed normally with mean 21 and standard deviation 5. If Adam got a 27 on his ACT, what is his percentile score?\\
calculate z score. $z=\frac{27-21}{5}=1.2. Looking up on a standard normal table, percentile is 0.8849.\\
so adam score is in the 88.49th percentile.\\
