Confidence Intervals · Superchallenge problem

A normal population has known σ=4\sigma = 4, and a sample of n=16n = 16 gives the interval xˉ±1.96\bar x \pm 1.96 for the mean μ\mu. Suppose the true mean is μ\mu. What is the probability that this interval contains the WRONG value μ+1\mu + 1? Round to three decimal places.
