Solution
Solution Steps
To find the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample mean (\(\mu_{\bar{x}}\)), we use the fact that it is equal to the population mean. For the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean (\(\sigma_{\bar{x}}\)), we divide the population standard deviation by the square root of the sample size \(n\).
Step 1: Calculate the Mean of the Sampling Distribution
The mean of the sampling distribution of the sample mean, denoted as \( \mu_{\bar{x}} \), is equal to the population mean. Given that the population mean is \( 4.33 \), we have:
\[
\mu_{\bar{x}} = 4.33
\]
Step 2: Calculate the Standard Deviation of the Sampling Distribution
The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean, denoted as \( \sigma_{\bar{x}} \), is calculated using the formula:
\[
\sigma_{\bar{x}} = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}
\]
where \( \sigma \) is the population standard deviation and \( n \) is the sample size. Given that \( \sigma = 0.33 \) and assuming \( n = 1 \), we find:
\[
\sigma_{\bar{x}} = \frac{0.33}{\sqrt{1}} = 0.33
\]
Final Answer
Thus, the results are:
\[
\mu_{\bar{x}} = 4.33
\]
\[
\sigma_{\bar{x}} = 0.33
\]
The final boxed answers are:
\[
\boxed{\mu_{\bar{x}} = 4.33}
\]
\[
\boxed{\sigma_{\bar{x}} = 0.33}
\]
