On the QWERTZ keyboard used in Central Europe the Z replaces the Y of the standard US/UK QWERTY keyboard as the sixth letter of the first row. 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").

where x is the raw score, μ is the population mean, and σ is the population standard deviation. For a sample, the formula is similar, except that the sample mean and population standard deviation are used instead of the population mean and population standard deviation. 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. t>z 변화, 네덜란드어는 어두의 s>z 변화가 자주 일어났기 때문이다. 슬라브어는 z의 비중이 앞의 언어보다 높으며, 특히 폴란드어는 어지간한 복자음과 이중문자에 z가 들어가기 때문에 유달리 z가 많이 쓰인다(사용빈도 5%). In chemistry, the letter Z is used to denote the Atomic number of an element (number of protons), such as Z=3 for Lithium.

In some inscriptions, z represented a Vulgar Latin sound, likely an affricate, formed by the merging of the reflexes of Classical Latin / j/, /dj/ and /gj/: [ example needed] for example, zanuariu for ianuariu "January", ziaconus for diaconus "deacon", and oze for hodie "today". [5] Likewise, /di/ sometimes replaced / z/ in words like baptidiare for baptizare "to baptize". In modern Italian, z represents / ts/ or / dz/, whereas the reflexes of ianuarius and hodie are written with the letter g (representing /dʒ/ when before i and e): gennaio, oggi. In other languages, such as Spanish, further evolution of the sound occurred. a b West, Andrew; Chan, Eiso; Everson, Michael (2017-01-16).

Latin letter z with a hook, intended for the transcription of Middle High German, for instances of the letter z with a sound value of /s/. 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. a b Constable, Peter (2004-04-19).

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 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]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. Why has the letter Z become the symbol of war for Russia?".

It represents / ʒ/ in words like seizure. More often, this sound appears as ⟨su⟩ or ⟨si⟩ in words such as measure, decision, etc. In all these words, / ʒ/ developed from earlier / zj/ by yod-coalescence. 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/).
