The equation for the determination of the z-score is shown below.

z-score = (x - μ) / σ

where x is the value in which we need to determine the z-score, μ is the mean or the average, and σ is the standard deviation.

Substituting the known values,

z-score = (1,030.00 - 1,200) / 100 = - 1.7

Therefore, the z-score of 1,030 is - 1.7.
