Answer:

Z=-2

This value means that the score of Rachel 550 it's 2 deviations below the mean of the population \mu=600

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

\mu=600 represent the population mean for the Graduate Record Exam (GRE)

\sigma=25 represent the population standard deviation for Graduate Record Exam (GRE)

2) Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(600,25)  

Where \mu=600 and \sigma=25

We want to find the z score for a score of 550. And in order to do this we need to apply the formula for the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

z=\frac{550-600}{25}=-2

So the answer for our case would be Z=-2

This value means that the score of Rachel 550 it's 2 deviations below the mean of the population \mu=600

Sin 3pi divided by 4
KATRIN_1 [288]
Sin 3pi/4 is angle 135 degrees or 45 degrees below 180 degrees. Hence it's opposite side is 1 and adjacent is 1, implying the hypothenus is sqrt(2). Hence

Sin 3pi/4 = 1/sqrt(2). Now multiply by sqrt(2)/sqrt(2) to get:

[1/sqrt(2).] * [sqrt(2)/sqrt(2)] = sqrt2)/2
