A test uses xˉ\bar x with SE 11 to decide between μ=20\mu = 20 (H0H_0) and μ=23\mu = 23 (the alternative), rejecting H0H_0 when xˉ>c\bar x > c. Choose cc so that the probability of a Type I error equals the probability of a Type II error (at μ=23\mu = 23). What is that common probability? Give your answer to four decimal places.
