A certain type of flashlight requires two type-D batteries, and the flashlight will work only if both its batteries have acceptable voltages. Suppose that 90% of all batteries from a certain supplier have acceptable voltages. Among fifteen randomly selected flashlights, what is the probability that at least fourteen will work? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
