I am currently studying about how to find a correlation between two variable while studying I came to know that the Pearson's r is the value which tells about the strength and the direction of the correlation between two variable.

In the formula, I want to ask why we are needed to calculate the z-score of the variable we can also calculate standard deviation or variance for knowing direction and strength of correlation between two variable.
