Answer:

1

Explanation:

You want the standard deviation of a normal distribution.

Normal distribution

The "standard normal distribution" is defined to have a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.

Additional comment

The standard distribution is often shifted and scaled to have some other particular mean and standard deviation. The computation of a "Z-score" is a way to relate a value in the scaled distribution back to the characteristics of the standard normal distribution. The Z-score is the number of standard deviations a value is from the mean.
