![During a wisdom teeth removal procedure, 1, 2, 3, or 4
wisdom teeth are removed, depending on the patient's
needs. Records indicate that nationwide, the mean
number of wisdom teeth removed in a procedure is \mu
= 3.10, with a standard deviation of \sigma = 1.06.
Suppose that we will take a random sample of 10
wisdom teeth removal procedures and record the
number of wisdom teeth removed in each procedure.
Let x represent the sample mean of the 10 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. (a) Find \mu_x
(the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample
mean). (b) Find \sigmax (the standard deviation of
the sampling distribution of the sample mean).](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/ac7ba0f4-6673-4942-b64f-87985f4f98da/89553bf1-d5fa-4746-b6ea-b641d689a051/mmmv6vr_thumbnail.jpeg)

- According to a report published by the USDA 3 years ago, a typical American consumes an average of 26 pounds of ice cream per year. A researcher at the USDA would like to determine if the average amount of ice cream consumed each year by a typical American has changed since the original report was published. The researcher collected data from a random sample of 65 Americans and found that the mean amount of ice cream consumed each year by the sample was 25.54 pounds with a standard deviation of 1.64 pounds. Using α=0.02, test the hypothesis that the mean amount of ice cream consumed each year by a typical American is different than 26 pounds. Use the p-value method.
