Answer

So, the final answer is \(\mu_{\bar{x}} = \boxed{87}\) and \(\sigma_{\bar{x}} = \boxed{4.801}\).

Steps

Step 1 :The problem is asking for the mean and standard deviation of the sample mean. The mean of the sample mean, denoted as \(\mu_{\bar{X}}\), is equal to the population mean, \(\mu\). The standard deviation of the sample mean, denoted as \(\sigma_{\bar{X}}\), is equal to the population standard deviation, \(\sigma\), divided by the square root of the sample size, \(n\).

Step 2 :Given that \(\mu = 87\), \(\sigma = 22\), and \(n = 21\), we can calculate \(\mu_{\bar{X}}\) and \(\sigma_{\bar{X}}\).

Step 3 :Since \(\mu_{\bar{X}}\) is equal to \(\mu\), we have \(\mu_{\bar{X}} = 87\).

Step 4 :\(\sigma_{\bar{X}}\) is equal to \(\sigma\) divided by the square root of \(n\), so \(\sigma_{\bar{X}} = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{22}{\sqrt{21}} \approx 4.801\).

Step 5 :So, the final answer is \(\mu_{\bar{x}} = \boxed{87}\) and \(\sigma_{\bar{x}} = \boxed{4.801}\).
