A chain of paint stores produces and sells latex and semi-enamel paint. Based on long-term sales, the probability that a customer buys latex paint is 0.937. Of those who buy latex paint, 85% also buy rollers. However, only 52% of those who buy semi-enamel paint buy rollers. If we select a customer at random, and we know that he bought a roller, what is the probability that he bought a latex paint? (Round to 4 decimal places, if any)
