Convert Z-score (Z-value, standard score) to p-value for normal distribution in Python

Question

How does one convert a Z-score from the Z-distribution (standard normal distribution, Gaussian distribution) to a p-value? I have yet to find the magical function in Scipy\'

Answer 1

For Scipy lovers, Tough this is old question but relevant, and we can have not only normal but other distributions as well so here is solution for few more distributions:

def get_p_value_normal(z_score: float) -> float:
    """get p value for normal(Gaussian) distribution 

    Args:
        z_score (float): z score

    Returns:
        float: p value
    """
    return round(norm.sf(z_score), decimal_limit)


def get_p_value_t(z_score: float) -> float:
    """get p value for t distribution 

    Args:
        z_score (float): z score

    Returns:
        float: p value
    """
    return round(t.sf(z_score), decimal_limit)


def get_p_value_chi2(z_score: float) -> float:
    """get p value for chi2 distribution 

    Args:
        z_score (float): z score

    Returns:
        float: p value
    """
    return round(chi2.ppf(z_score, df), decimal_limit)
