    (1) Summary. Would the following replacement be an improvement – “Calculates a normalized value which represents the number of standard deviations by which the value of a random variable is above or below the mean of the distribution. This measure is often known as a standard score or z-score.”?
    (2) Returns. Perhaps replace with – “Returns a real number which is the standardized value of the specified random variable for the given distribution mean and standard deviation”.
    (3) Arguments, bullet. Insert “or” before “equal”.
    (4) Additional details. The appearance of this equation appears unnecessarily like that on the relevant Microsoft page. Also, would it be worth referencing Wikipedia’s “Standard score” page?
    (5) Examples, 2nd example. Maybe insert “or equal to” before 0. Or do we need a separate example to show the (different) error that is generated for 0 standard deviation?
