Let's attack this problem using the z-score concept.  The sample std. dev. here is (0.25 oz)/sqrt(40), or 0.040.  Thus, the z score representing 3.9 oz. is
        3.9 - 4.0
z = -------------- = -2.5
          0.040 

In one way or another we must find the area under the std. normal curve that lies to the left of z = -2.5.  Use a table of z-scores or a calculator with built-in statistics functions.  According to my TI-83 Plus calculator, that area is

0.006.  One way of interpreting this that with so small a standard deviation, most volumes of coffee put into the jars are very close to the mean, 4 oz.
