MEAN = MEDIAN = Mode: The mean and the median are the same
located in the center of the curve. 50% of the data is above or below

9
In order to compare different data sets we "standardize" the data so that is can be easily compared.
Z-scores of data sets can be compared to other data sets.

They tell you how many Standard Deviations above or below the mean the given data point lies.
Positive z - The point is above the Mean
Negative z - The point is below the Mean
z is 0 - The point is the same as the mean.
