Use the data in stand.xls to have the STANDARDIZE function act on each data point. Note that the standardize function requires you to know the AVERAGE and STANDARD DEVIATION. This function measures how far a data point is from the mean in terms of the number of standard deviations. Use some functions (IF, COUNT, SUM, COUNTIF) to determine how many of these "STANDARDIZED values"; are greater than or equal to 2. (COUNTIF examples) =COUNTIF(B2:B5,">55")Counts the number of cells with a value greater than 55 in cells B2 through B5.
