- 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 µ = 2.38, with a standard deviation of o = 0.93. Suppose that we will take a random sample of 8 wisdom teeth removal procedures and record the number of wisdom teeth removed in each procedure. Let x represent the sample mean of the 8 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.
