Two groups' means are estimated independently with the same standard error ss, and each group gets its own 95% interval, estimate ±1.96s\pm 1.96s. Separately, the difference is tested with the two-sided zz test at 5%, using standard error 2 s\sqrt2\,s. If the two true means are EQUAL, what is the probability that the two intervals overlap and yet the test rejects? Round to three decimal places.
