## Sampling Distribution of the Sample Mean for Wisdom Teeth Removal Procedures

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 = 3.67, with a standard deviation of σ = 0.86. 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 \( \bar{x} \) represent the sample mean of the 6 procedures. We are interested in the sampling distribution of the sample mean \( \bar{x} \).

### Instructions:
Complete the following. Do not round any intermediate computations. Write your answers with two decimal places, rounding if needed.

(a) **Find \( \mu_{\bar{x}} \) (the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample mean).**

\[
\mu_{\bar{x}} = \boxed{\phantom{}}
\]

(b) **Find \( \sigma_{\bar{x}} \) (the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean).**

\[
\sigma_{\bar{x}} = \boxed{\phantom{}}
\]

### Additional Information:
- Ensure all calculations reflect the accuracy of the provided data.
- Use appropriate statistical methods to determine the values.
- The sample size (n) is 6.

**Note:** This page continues with additional analysis and exercises.
