Recall that the z-score represents the number of standard deviations a data point is from the mean in a normal distribution.
Understand that the mean of a normal distribution corresponds to a z-score of 0 because it is the reference point.
Recognize that a point one standard deviation above the mean means it is exactly one standard deviation greater than the mean value.
Use the formula for the z-score: \(z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}\), where \(X\) is the data point, \(\mu\) is the mean, and \(\sigma\) is the standard deviation.
Since \(X\) is one standard deviation above the mean, substitute \(X = \mu + \sigma\) into the formula to find \(z = \frac{(\mu + \sigma) - \mu}{\sigma} = 1\).
