An economist uses the price of a gallon of milk as a measure of inflation. She finds that the average price is $3.50 per gallon and the population standard deviation is $0.33. You decide to sample 40 convenience stores, collect their prices for a gallon of milk, and compute the mean price for the sample. What is the probability that the difference between the sample mean and the population mean is less than $0.01? (Round z value to 2 decimal places. Round your final answer to 4 decimal places.)
