The temperature of an ice bath is measured numerous times with a digital thermometer. The true temperature of the ice bath is 0.01454C. The sample mean temperature is T = -0.0041C. The sample standard deviation of all the readings is 0.03148C. We assume that the precision errors in the readings are purely random. Calculate the probability (%) that any random reading is greater than 0.01454C
