The z-score of the data can be calculated by the formula expressed as follows:

z = ( score - mean ) / standard deviation
z = (126 - 150 ) / 11 = -2.18

A z-Score is a statistical measurement of a score's relationship to the mean in a group of scores. A Z-score of 0 means the score is the same as the mean.
