Castilian Spanish uses the letter to represent / θ/ (as English ⟨th⟩ in thing), though in other dialects ( Latin American, Andalusian) this sound has merged with / s/. Before voiced consonants, the sound is voiced to [ ð] or [ z], sometimes debbucalized to [ ɦ] (as in the surname Guzmán [ɡuðˈman], [ɡuzˈman] or [ɡuɦˈman]). This is the only context in which ⟨z⟩ can represent a voiced sibilant [ z] in Spanish, though ⟨s⟩ also represents [ z] (or [ ɦ], depending on the dialect) in this environment. The Semitic symbol was the seventh letter, named zayin, which meant "weapon" or "sword". It represented either the sound / z/ as in English and French, or possibly more like / dz/ (as in Italian zeta, zero). a b "Z", Oxford English Dictionary, 2nd edition (1989); Merriam-Webster's Third New International Dictionary of the English Language, Unabridged (1993); "zee", op. cit. each value in the table is the area between z = 0 and the z-score of the given value, which represents the probability that a data point will lie within the referenced region in the standard normal distribution.

Old English used S alone for both the unvoiced and the voiced sibilant. The Latin sound imported through French was new and was not written with Z but with G or I. The successive changes can be seen in the doublet forms jealous and zealous. Both of these come from a late Latin zelosus, derived from the imported Greek ζῆλος zêlos. The earlier form is jealous; its initial sound is the [ dʒ], which developed to Modern French [ ʒ]. John Wycliffe wrote the word as gelows or ielous. Z at the end of a word was pronounced ts, as in English assets, from Old French asez "enough" ( Modern French assez), from Vulgar Latin ad satis ("to sufficiency"). [6] Last letter of the alphabet [ edit ] Z has been used by the Russian Armed Forces as an identifying symbol on its military vehicles, during Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Russian civilians have used the symbol to express support for the invasion. [11] [12]z⟩ is used in writing to represent the act of sleeping (often using multiple z's, like zzzz), as an onomatopoeia for the sound of closed-mouth human snoring. [10] Other languages [ edit ]

Use this calculator to find the probability (area P in the diagram) between two z-scores. Left Bound, Z 1 Few words in the Basic English vocabulary begin or end with ⟨z⟩, though it occurs within other words. It is the least frequently used letter in written English, [9] with a frequency of about 0.08% in words.For example, referencing the right-tail z-table above, a data point with a z-score of 1.12 corresponds to an area of 0.36864 (row 13, column 4). This means that for a normally distributed population, there is a 36.864% chance, a data point will have a z-score between 0 and 1.12.

In earlier times, the English alphabets used by children terminated not with Z but with & or related typographic symbols. [7] In her 1859 novel Adam Bede, George Eliot refers to Z being followed by & when her character Jacob Storey says, "He thought it [Z] had only been put to finish off th' alphabet like; though ampusand would ha' done as well, for what he could see." [8] In the Nihon-shiki, Kunrei-shiki, and Hepburn romanisations of Japanese, ⟨z⟩ stands for a phoneme whose allophones include [ z] and [ dz]. Additionally, in the Nihon-shiki and Kunrei-shiki systems, ⟨z⟩ is used to represent that same phoneme before / i/, where it's pronounced [ d͡ʑ ~ ʑ]. Michael Chugani (2014-01-04).

Other languages spell the letter's name in a similar way: zeta in Italian, Basque, and Spanish, seta in Icelandic (no longer part of its alphabet but found in personal names), zê in Portuguese, zäta in Swedish, zæt in Danish, zet in Dutch, Indonesian, Polish, Romanian, and Czech, Zett in German (capitalised as a noun), zett in Norwegian, zède in French, zetto ( ゼット) in Japanese, and zét in Vietnamese. Several languages render it as / ts/ or / dz/, e.g. tseta /tseta/ or more rarely tset /tset/ in Finnish (sometimes dropping the first t altogether; /seta/, or /set/ the latter of which is not very commonplace). In Standard Chinese pinyin, the name of the letter Z is pronounced [tsɨ], as in "zi", although the English zed and zee have become very common. In Esperanto the name of the letter Z is pronounced /zo/. z가 e, i 앞에 올 경우 c로 바꿔서 쓴다. 그리고 스페인어권의 성씨 중에 '-ez'로 끝나는 경우가 종종 보인다. Suarez, Alvarez, Perez, Fernandez, Gonzalez 등이며, '누구누구의 아들'이라는 의미이다.

z⟩ is more common in the Oxford spelling of British English than in standard British English, as this variant prefers the more etymologically 'correct' -ize endings, which are closer to Greek, to -ise endings, which are closer to French; however, -yse is preferred over -yze in Oxford spelling, as it is closer to the original Greek roots of words like analyse. The most common variety of English it is used in is American English, which prefers both the -ize and -yze endings. One native Germanic English word that contains 'z', freeze (past froze, participle frozen) came to be spelled that way by convention, even though it could have been spelled with 's' (as with choose, chose and chosen). Among non-European languages that have adopted the Latin alphabet, ⟨z⟩ usually stands for [z], such as in Azerbaijani, Igbo, Indonesian, Shona, Swahili, Tatar, Turkish, and Zulu. ⟨z⟩ represents [ d͡z] in Northern Sami and Inari Sami. In Turkmen, ⟨z⟩ represents [ ð].

Z

The z-score has numerous applications and can be used to perform a z-test, calculate prediction intervals, process control applications, comparison of scores on different scales, and more. Z-table In most English-speaking countries, including Australia, Canada, India, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa and the United Kingdom, the letter's name is zed / z ɛ d/, reflecting its derivation from the Greek letter zeta (this dates to Latin, which borrowed Y and Z from Greek), but in American English its name is zee / z iː/, analogous to the names for B, C, D, etc., and deriving from a late 17th-century English dialectal form. [2] Z, or z, is the 26th and last letter of the Latin alphabet, as used in the modern English alphabet, the alphabets of other western European languages and others worldwide. Its usual names in English are zed ( / ˈ z ɛ d/) and zee ( / ˈ z iː/), with an occasional archaic variant izzard ( / ˈ ɪ z ər d/). [1] Name and pronunciation [ edit ] At the opening the class is reciting an arithmetic lesson which mirrors the song "Inchworm", made popular in 1952 by Danny Kaye in the film 'Hans Christian Andersen'. z⟩ stands for a voiced alveolar or voiced dental sibilant / z/, in Albanian, Breton, Czech, Dutch, French, Hungarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Romanian, Serbo-Croatian, Slovak, and the International Phonetic Alphabet. It stands for / t͡s/ in Chinese pinyin and Jyutping, Finnish (occurs in loanwords only), and German, and is likewise expressed /ts/ in Old Norse. In Italian, it represents two phonemes, / t͡s/ and / d͡z/. In Portuguese, it stands for / z/ in most cases, but also for / s/ or / ʃ/ (depending on the regional variant) at the end of syllables. In Basque, it represents the sound / s/.
