Confidence Intervals · Superchallenge problem

Two researchers independently take samples of the same size nn from the same normal population with known σ\sigma, and each builds a 95% interval xˉ±1.96 σ/n\bar x \pm 1.96\,\sigma/\sqrt n for the same mean μ\mu. What is the probability that their two intervals overlap? Round to four decimal places.
