Records indicate that nationwide, the mean number of wisdom teeth removed in a procedure is u= 3.50, with a standard deviation of o=1.27. Suppose that we will take a random sample of 6 wisdom teeth removal procedures and record the number of wisdom teeth removed in each procedure. Let ī represent the sample mean of the 6 procedures. Consider the sampling distribution of the sample mean x. Complete the following. Do not round any intermediate computations. Write your answers with two decimal places, rounding if needed.

You are allowed repeats, that is you MAY choose the same number 2 or more times. In the box below, write down the 4 numbers you chose, AND calculate the standard deviation (s) for these 4 numbers.arrow_forward
